Brachystelechidae is an extinct family of Early Permian microsaurs. The family was first named by Robert L. Carroll and Pamela Gaskill in 1978, with the only member being Brachystelechus fritschi.[1] Brachystelechus fritschi has since been reassigned to the genus Batropetes.[2] Genera assigned to the family include: Batropetes, from Germany;[1] Carrolla, from Texas;[3] Quasicaecilia, also from Texas;[4] Diabloroter, from the Mazon Creek lagerstätte of Illinois;[5] and Bromerpeton from the Tambach Formation of Germany.[6]
