}}Admetophoneus is a dubious genus of non-mammalian synapsid from Russia. Its type and only species is Admetophoneus kargalensis. HistoryAdmetophoneus was named by the Russian paleontologist Ivan Efremov in 1954, based on some teeth, a fragmentary maxilla, and a humerus.[{{rp|260}} It was originally classified as a member of Brithopodidae.][{{rp|235–236}} Later, it was classified in Phthinosuchidae.[3]{{rp|984–985}} Recent study, however, has shown that it is a member of Anteosauria, but lacks diagnostic features.[4]{{rp|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.] See also{{Portal|Paleontology}} References 1. ^1 {{cite journal | first1 = M.
