Theledectinae is an extinct subfamily of parareptiles within the family Procolophonidae. Theledectines existed in South Africa , China and Australia during the Early-Middle Triassic period (Induan to Anisian stages). Theledectinae was named by Juan Carlos Cisneros in 2008 to include the genus Theledectes, and the species "Eumetabolodon" dongshengensis. "E." dongshengensis represents a new genus from China. Cladistically, it is defined as "All taxa more closely related to Theledectes perforatus (Gow, 1977a) than to Procolophon trigoniceps Owen, 1876".[1] In 2020, Hamley add the new genus Eomurruna from Australia to this subfamily.[2]
