Protorothyrididae
Sign in to saveleft|thumb|Skull of Paleothyris Protorothyrididae is an extinct proposed family of small, lizard-like reptiliomorphs traditionally thought to be early members of "Eureptilia". Their skulls did not have the fenestrae seen in the more derived diapsids. Protorothyridids lived from the late Carboniferous to early Permian periods, in what is now North America.

屬 Anthracodromeus 頭甲林蜥 Cephalerpeton 原古蜥 Protorothyris 原古蜥科（Protorothyrididae）是群小型、類似蜥蜴的爬行動物，生存於石炭紀晚期到二疊紀早期的北美洲。牠們的顱骨沒有洞孔，如同現代烏龜，因此過去被歸類於無孔亞綱的大鼻龍目，但目前被認為與雙孔亞綱同屬真爬行動物演化支[1][2][3][4]。 許多原始爬行動物過去曾被歸類於原古蜥科，例如：林蜥、古窗龍、Brouffia、Coelostegus，近年被發現是更原始的真爬行動物[5]。 參考資料 ^ Llewellyn Ivor Price.

left|thumb|Skull of Paleothyris Protorothyrididae is an extinct proposed family of small, lizard-like reptiliomorphs traditionally thought to be early members of "Eureptilia". Their skulls did not have the fenestrae seen in the more derived diapsids. Protorothyridids lived from the late Carboniferous to early Permian periods, in what is now North America.
Many genera of primitive reptiles were thought to be protorothyridids. Brouffia, Coelostegus, Paleothyris and Hylonomus, for example, were found to be more basal "eureptiles" in Muller and Reisz (2006), making the family as historically defined paraphyletic, though three genera, Protorothyris, Anthracodromeus, and Cephalerpeton, were recovered as a monophyletic group. Anthracodromeus, Paleothyris, and Protorothyris were recovered as a monophyletic group in Ford and Benson (2020) (who did not sample Cephalerpeton), who recovered them as more derived than captorhinids and Hylonomus, but less so than araeoscelidians. Anthracodromeus is the earliest known reptile to display adaptations to climbing. The majority of phylogenetic studies recover protorothyridids as basal members of "Eureptilia" or otherwise early reptiles; however, some phylogenetic studies such as those of Simões et al. (2022) and Jenkins et al. (2025) recover them as stem-amniotes instead.
