Indolyrocephalus is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian belonging to the family Trematosauridae. It contains a single species, I. huxleyi, from the Early Triassic Panchet Formation of India.[1] It was initially classified in Gonioglyptus, then into its own genus Indolyrocephalus, and then back into Gonioglyptus[2], but is presently placed in Indolyrocephalus once again.[3][4]
