Millerettidae is an extinct family of parareptiles from the Middle Permian to the Late Permian period (Capitanian - Changhsingian stages) of South Africa.[1] The millerettids were small insectivores and probably resembled modern lizards in appearance and lifestyle.
The following cladogram shows the phylogenetic position of the Millerettidae, from Ruta et al., 2011.[1]
