Batropetes
''Batropetes'' is an extinct genus of brachystelechid microbrachomorphs. Although it was first classified as a reptile, ''Batropetes'' is now known to be a genus of microsaur amphibians. ''Batropetes'' lived during the Sakmarian stage of the Early Permian. Fossils attributable to the type species ''B. fritschi'' have been collected from the town of Freital in Saxony, Germany, near the city of Dresden. Additional material has been found from the Saar-Nahe Basin in southwestern Germany and has been assigned to three additional species: ''B. niederkirchensis'', ''B. palatinus'', and ''B. appelensis''.
==Description==
''Batropetes'' is small and short-bodied for a microsaur. Its average total body length was about . The orbits are large and the skull is short. ''Batropetes'' possesses scales on its underside that are similar to those of reptiles.〔
''Batropetes'' is distinguished from ''Carrolla'', another brachystelechid microsaur, by the presence of three cusps on the premaxillary and anterior dentary teeth. In ''Carrolla'', there are only two cusps. Additional diagnostic features seen in ''Batropetes'' include a supraoccipital bone that is not fused to the otic capsule, the presence of a retroarticular process (a projection at the back of the lower jaw), and two proximal bones in the tarsus.〔
