Melosaurinae is an extinct subfamily of temnospondyl amphibians, part of the family Archegosauridae. Most melosaurines are known from Russia, although an unnamed species has been found in Brazil.[1] Unlike the long-skulled archegosaurids of the family Platyoposaurinae, melosaurines have shorter, broadened snouts.

gollark: I WILL simulate a vast cluster of these and I WILL do machine learning™ with it somehow.

gollark: I cannot be stopped, actually.
