Lycaenodon
''Lycaenodon'' is an extinct genus of biarmosuchian therapsid from the Late Permian of South Africa. It is known from a single species, ''Lycaenodon longiceps'', which was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1925. Both are small-bodied biarmosuchians. Two specimens are known, and both preserve only the front portions of the skull. These specimens come from the ''Cistecephalus'' Assemblage Zone of the Karoo Basin. Broom attributed the back portion of a third skull to ''Lycaenodon'', but subsequent examiners considered it to belong to a gorgonopsian or dinocephalian and not a biarmosuchian. Most of the distinguishing features of ''Lycaenodon'' come from its palate. As a member of Biarmosuchia, the most basal group of therapsids, ''Lycaenodon'' shares many features with earlier and less mammal-like synapsids like ''Dimetrodon''. A 2012 phylogenetic analysis of biarmosuchians found ''Lycaenodon'' to be a close relative of the derived clade Burnetiamorpha. ==References==
