Varanops is an extinct genus of Early Permian varanopid known from Texas and Oklahoma of the United States. It was first named by Samuel Wendell Williston in 1911 as a second species of Varanosaurus, Varanosaurus brevirostris.[1] In 1914, Samuel W. Williston reassigned it to its own genus and the type species is Varanops brevirostris.[2]
