Melosaurinae is an extinct subfamily of temnospondyl amphibians, part of the family Archegosauridae. Most melosaurines are known from Russia, although an unnamed species has been found in Brazil.[1] Unlike the long-skulled archegosaurids of the family Platyoposaurinae, melosaurines have shorter, broadened snouts.
