Iratusaurus is an extinct genus of dissorophoid temnospondyl within the family Dissorophidae.[1] It was described by Gubin (1980) on the basis of a fragmentary posterior skull.[2] It is estimated to have been comparably large to Kamacops , another Russian dissorophid, but little more can be said about it, and it is rarely mentioned in comparative descriptions and has never been tested in a phylogenetic analysis. Distinguishing features include a large, triangular otic notch and a median crest on the postparietals.[1]
