History
Admetophoneus was named by the Russian paleontologist Ivan Efremov in 1954, based on some teeth, a fragmentary maxilla, and a humerus.[1]: 260 It was originally classified as a member of Brithopodidae.[1]: 235–236 Later, it was classified in Phthinosuchidae.[2]: 984–985 Recent study, however, has shown that it is a member of Anteosauria, but lacks diagnostic features.[3]: 287 It is essentially identical to the contemporaneous Titanophoneus, and could be synonymous with it, but its poor preservation means that it cannot be proven.
