Baphetoidea is a superfamily of stem-tetrapods. It includes the family Baphetidae and several more basal genera such as Eucritta and Spathicephalus (which has been given its own family Spathicephalidae).[1] The superfamily has also been called Loxommatoidea, but this name is a junior synonym of Baphetoidea.
