Lapillopsidae is an extinct family of temnospondyls.
Lapillopsis was found as the sister to Rotaurisaurus in a 1999 analysis that found the Lapillopsidae as basal stereospondyls.[1] Lapillopsis was found as a sister to Dissorophoidea by a 2017 analysis.[2] Another relative of Lapillopsis, Manubrantlia was described from the Early Triassic of India,[3] and Rhigerpeton was found in Antarctica.[4]
