Lystrosauridae is a family of dicynodont therapsids from the Permian and Triassic time periods. It includes two genera, Lystrosaurus and Kwazulusaurus.[6] Kwazulusaurus includes a single species, K. shakai, from the Late Permian of South Africa[7] and Lystrosaurus includes many species from the Late Permian and Early Triassic of South Africa, India, and Antarctica.[1]
