Captorhinus
''Captorhinus'' is an extinct genus of captorhinid reptiles that lived during the Permian period. Its remains are known from North America, Europe, India and Africa.〔Seltin 1959〕 In 1882, Edward Cope described a fragmentary skull from the Lower Permian of Texas collected by W. F. Cummins at Coffee Creek as ''Ectocynodon aguti''. The name had then been revised several times by different paleontologists as more genera were discovered. In 1911, paleontologist Ermine Cowles Case revised the recently discovered species. He decided to refer ''P. (Ectodynodon) aguti, P. aduncus, and P. isolomus'' to ''Captorhinus'', and established a new family, Captorhinidae.〔Fox 1996〕
== Etymology ==
Named by Cope from the Latin word, “captor,” meaning, “one who catches something,” and the Greek word, “rhino,” meaning, “of the nose.” This is based on the theory that the characteristically curved premaxilla of ''Captorhinus'' may have been used to catch prey.〔Fox 1966〕
