Baphetoideais asuperfamilyofstem-tetrapods.It includes thefamilyBaphetidaeand several more basalgenerasuch asEucrittaandSpathicephalus(which has been given its own family Spathicephalidae).[1]The superfamily has also been calledLoxommatoidea,but this name is a junior synonym of Baphetoidea.
Taxonomy
[edit]Baphetoidea was named byEdward Drinker Copein 1875. The name Loxommatoidea was erected byD.M.S. Watsonin 1929 for baphetids such asLoxomma,which were then known as loxommatids. Loxommatids were later shown to be members of Baphetidae, and Loxommatoidea was synonymized with Baphetoidea as a result. Because Baphetoidea was the first erected name, it has priority over Loxommatoidea.[2]
