Lanthanostegus is an extinct genus of non-mammalian synapsids from the Capitanian Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone, Koonap Formation (Beaufort Group) of South Africa. The type and the only species is Lanthanostegus mohoii.

Taxonomic history

[edit]

The animal was named as Lanthanocephalus mohoii by Modesto et al. in 2002[3] but was recombined as Lanthanostegus mohoii in 2003, as the genus Lanthanocephalus was preoccupied by a coral.[2]
