Dasyceps

Dasyceps is an extinct genus of zatracheidid temnospondyl from the early Permian of England.

== History of study == Dasyceps was originally named in 1850 for the type species, D. bucklandi, which honors English paleontologist William Buckland, but under the now defunct genus "Labyrinthodon," which is now regarded as a junior synonym of the Triassic capitosaur Mastodonsaurus. The new genus name for the species was created by Thomas Huxley in 1859. A detailed description of the taxon was given in German by the German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene in 1910. The most recent description is that of Paton (1975). A second species from Texas, D. microphthalmus, was originally named as a species of Zatrachys but was moved to Dasyceps by Paton (1975).
