Limnoscelidae
Limnoscelidae is a family of carnivorous Diadectomorphans. They would have been the largest terrestrial carnivores of their day, the other large carnivores being aquatic or semi aquatic labyrinthodont amphibians. The Limnoscelidae themselves, being close to the ancestry of amniotes, would have been well adapted land animals, but still dependent on anamniote eggs, and possibly having a tadople stage.〔Carroll R.L. (1991): The origin of reptiles. In: Schultze H.-P., Trueb L., (ed) ''Origins of the higher groups of tetrapods — controversy and consensus''. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, pp 331-353.〕 Contrary to the more advanced herbivorous Diadectidae, the teeth retained labyrinthodont infolding of the enamel, and were pointed and slightly recurved at the tip.

* ''Limnoscelis'' (two species) is the nominal genus for which the family was erected. Both species were quite large animals, on the order of a 1,5 meters as aduts.
* ''Limnostygis'' (one species) is known from a single partial skeleton was assigned to the family by Robert L. Carroll〔 It was markedly smaller than its cousins, about 40 cm in adult length.
