Permian Madagascar

Hovasaurus is an extinct genus of basal diapsid reptile. It lived in what is now Madagascar during the Late Permian and Early Triassic, being a survivor of the Permian–Triassic extinction event and the paleontologically youngest member of the Tangasauridae. Fossils have been found in the Permian Lower and Triassic Middle Sakamena Formations of the Sakamena Group, where it is amongst the commonest fossils. Its morphology suggests an aquatic ecology.

Claudiosaurus (after the discoverer Claude Germain and saurus, 'lizard') is an extinct genus of diapsid reptiles from the Late Permian Sakamena Formation of the Morondava Basin, Madagascar. It has been suggested to be semi-aquatic.

Thadeosaurus is an extinct genus of diapsid reptiles from the late Permian Lower Sakamena Formation (Sakamena Group) of Madagascar. The genus contains a single species, Thadeosaurus colcanapi, known from several specimens preserved as natural molds.
