The nycteroleter parareptiles have lately become the focus of increased attention, owing to their recently recognized sister-group relationship to pareiasaurs and the discovery an impedance-matching ear in members of the group. The Kotel’nich locality in central Russia dates to the early part of the Late Permian and preserves a diverse tetrapod fauna that includes the pareiasaurDeltavjatia vjatkensisand the nycteroleterEmeroleter levis. The latter taxon was previously known only from isolated crania, but recent excavations have produced additional material, including well-preserved postcrania, allowing a complete redescription. The skull ofEmeroleteris typified by dermal sculpturing consisting of evenly spaced small, round pits and supratemporals that extend posterolaterally into broad horns. The quadratojugal is long and the posterior portion of the element curves dorsally into a pointed projection, an autapomorphy of the taxon. Postcranially,Emeroleteris very gracile with a long, sigmoid femur, and slender limbs, carpal, and tarsal elements. A reassessment of the Russian nycteroleters results in the synonymy ofTokosaurus perforatuswithMacroleter poezicus. Phylogenetic analysis of parareptilian relationships using both parsimony and Bayesian inference yields a monophyly of ‘nycteroleters’ in parsimony, whereas the group is found to be paraphyletic with Bayesian inference. The genusBashkyroleteris consistently paraphyletic. A clade consisting of the nycteroleters and pareiasaurs, here termed Pareiasauromorpha, is supported by both methods.
