Albanerpeton Anoualerpeton Celtedens

Albanerpetontidae es un clado extinto de lisanfibios representado por los géneros Albanerpeton, Anoualerpeton y Celtedens, los cuales vivieron desde el Jurásico Medio hasta el Plioceno.^[1] Los restos fósiles de esta familia han sido descubiertos en Europa, África y Norteamérica^{[2] [3]} Las relaciones filogenéticas de Albanerpetontidae con respecto al resto de los lisanfibios es incierta. Mientras unos análisis cladísticos ubican a esta familia como un taxón hermano de Lissamphibia, otros la agrupan más cercana a los anuros y caudados.
