Edward Drinker Cope>Cope, 1878| subdivision_ranks = Genera| subdivision =}}Bolosauridae is an extinct family of parareptiles known from the latest Carboniferous (Gzhelian) or earliest Permian (Asselian) to the early Guadalupian epoch (latest Roadian stage) of North America, China, Germany, Russia and France.JOURNAL, Marcello Ruta, Juan C. Cisneros, Torsten Liebrect, Linda A.

Their teeth suggest that they were herbivores. The bolosaurids were a rare group and died out without any known descendants. The following cladogram shows the phylogenetic position of the Bolosauridae, from Johannes MÃ¼ller, Jin-Ling Li and Robert R. Reisz, 2008.JOURNAL, Johannes MÃ¼ller, Jin-Ling Li, Robert R.
