Revision of the brachyopidae (temnospondyli) from the triassic of the Sydney, Carnarvon and Tasmania Basins, Australia

Australian Triassic strata have produced more species of brachyopid Amphibia than are known elsewhere. Some were described last century and most before the widespread use of cladistics. There is thus a need for redescriptions which include identification of characters useful for character analysis....
