The Micropholidae are an extinct family of dissorophoid euskelian temnospondyls known from Late Carboniferous to Early Triassic strata in the United States and South Africa.
Systematics
Members of Micropholidae were historically included in Amphibamidae, but Schoch (2019) recovered Amphibamidae as paraphyletic, necessitating resurrection of Micropholidae for Micropholis and closely related taxa.[1][2][3][4]
