Abstrakt: Cranial fragments pertaining to a capitosaurid labyrinthodont from the Early Scythian Knocklofty Formation of Tasmania are described. They are referred, with question, to the genus Parotosuchus Otschev and Shishkin 1968. Recent literature dealing with the systematics, morphology and palaeobiogeography of the Capitosauridae, a family widely dispersed over Pangaea during several Triassic intervals, is reviewed. It is recommended that Wetlugasaurus be retained in synonymy with Parotosuchus.
