Hyperodapedontinae is a subfamily of rhynchosaurs within the family Hyperodapedontidae. Fossils have been found from Argentina, Brasil, Canada, India, Madagascar, Scotland, Tanzania, USA and Zimbabwe.^[1]^[2]

Classification[edit]

Hyperodapedontinae was named by Sankar Chatterjee in 1969 to include the genus Hyperodapedon.^[3] In 1985, the genus Scaphonyx was added to the family.^[4] Scaphonyx includes three dubious species, S. africanus, S. australis and S. fischeri.
