Admetophoneus is a dubious genus of non-mammalian synapsid from Russia. Its type and only species is Admetophoneus kargalensis.
History
Admetophoneus was named by the Russian paleontologist Ivan Efremov in 1954, based on some teeth, a fragmentary maxilla, and a humerus.[1]Template:Rp It was originally classified as a member of Brithopodidae.[1]Template:Rp Later, it was classified in Phthinosuchidae.[2]Template:Rp Recent study, however, has shown that it is a member of Anteosauria, but lacks diagnostic features.[3]Template:Rp It is essentially identical to the contemporaneous Titanophoneus, and could be synonymous with it, but its poor preservation means that it cannot be proven.
