Millerosauria is an order of
Parareptiles that contains the families †
Millerettidae and †
Eunotosauridae. It is the sister group to the order
Procolophonomorpha. It was named in 1957 by Watson. It was once considered a suborder of the disused group
Captorhinida and was called Millerosauroidea. All members of this order are thought to be extinct. Eunotosaurus has been recovered as a stem-turtle in recent cladistic studies.[1]
