Usage notes

Lissamphibia has previously been used to include all extant amphibians, while excluding the main Paleozoic tetrapod groups. There is debate as to whether it constitutes a clade. Some writers argue that Gerobatrachus hottoni (early Permian) belongs in Lissamphibia. For more details, see Lissamphibia on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
