Capitanian genera

Lycaenops ("wolf-face") is a genus of carnivorous therapsids. It lived during the Middle Permian to the early Late Permian, about 260 mya, in what is now South Africa.

Titanosuchus ("fierce titan crocodile") is an extinct genus of dinocephalian therapsids that lived in the Middle Permian epoch in South Africa. This genus has only one species, Titanosuchus ferox. Along with its close relatives, Jonkeria and Moschops, Titanosuchus inhabited present-day South Africa around 265 million years ago, in the Late Permian. Titanosuchus is frequently cited as being a carnivore; however, this is based on specimens now assigned to Anteosaurus. Instead, Titanosuchus was likely an omnivorous or herbivorous animal like the related Jonkeria. Titanosuchus is known from fragme

Eunotosaurus (Latin: stout-backed lizard) is an extinct genus of reptile of disputed affinities. It is known from the late Middle Permian (Capitanian stage) of the Karoo Supergroup of South Africa and the Mwesia Beds of Malawi. Its ribs are wide and flat, forming broad plates similar to a primitive turtle shell, and the vertebrae are comparable to those of some turtles. Accordingly, Eunotosaurus has often been considered as a possible transitional fossil between turtles and their prehistoric ancestors. However, it is possible that these turtle-like features evolved independently of the same fe
