Australerpeton
Australerpeton is an extinct genus of archegosauroidean stereospondylomorph temnospondyl within the family Archegosauridae. When first named in 1998, the genus was placed within the new family Australerpetontidae. However, later studies questioned the systematics used in the original description and included the genus within Archegosauridae. A more recent study reassigned Australerpeton to the family Rhinesuchidae within the suborder Stereospondyli based on an earlier evaluation of the family. In the study, the close similarities between Australerpeton and archegosaurids were attributed to convergent evolution as a result of similar semi-aquatic lifestyles.
