Hyperodapedontinae is a subfamily of rhynchosaurs within the family Hyperodapedontidae. Fossils have been found from Argentina, Brasil, Canada, India, Madagascar, Scotland, Tanzania, USA and Zimbabwe.[1][2]

Classification[]

Hyperodapedontinae was named by Sankar Chatterjee in 1969 to include the genus Hyperodapedon.[3] In 1985, the genus Scaphonyx was added to the family.[4] Scaphonyx includes three dubious species, S. africanus, S. australis and S. fischeri.
