''Parotosuchus'' is an extinct genus of capitosaurian temnospondyl within the family Mastodonsauridae. Fossils are known from the Early Triassic of Europe, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. It was about long and likely lived in aquatic environments such as lakes and rivers. Parotosuchus was covered in a scaly skin, unlike the smooth skin of modern-day amphibians, and probably moved with an eel-like motion in the water.〔(Yahoo News: Antarctic fossil prompts rethink about amphibian history )〕 ''Parotosuchus'' was originally named ''Parotosaurus''. However, the name ''Parotosaurus'' was preoccupied by a genus of skinks, and in 1968 the name ''Parotosuchus'' was proposed as a replacement. The name ''Archotosaurus'' was also proposed as a replacement name in 1976, although the author who proposed this was unaware that ''Parotosuchus'' was already in use. Because the name ''Parotosuchus'' was erected earlier than ''Archotosaurus'', it has priority. ==References==
