What is "batropetes"

Batropetes is an extinct genus of brachystelechid microbrachomorphs. Although it was first classified as a reptile, Batropetes is now known to be a genus of microsaur amphibians. Batropetes lived during the Sakmarian stage of the Early Permian. Fossils attributable to the type species B. fritschi have been collected from the town of Freital in Saxony, Germany, near the city of Dresden. Additional material has been found from the Saar-Nahe Basin in southwestern Germany and has been assigned to three additional species: B. niederkirchensis, B. palatinus, and B. appelensis.
