Acheloma (also known as Trematops milleri) is an extinct genus of temnospondyl that lived during the Early Permian.[1][2] The type species is A. cumminsi. Trematops milleri has been synonymized with Acheloma. Like other trematopids, Acheloma was a large terrestrial carnivore, as shown both by its morphology and bone microanatomy.[3] One species, A. dunni, may have been the top predator of the diverse Richards Spur assemblage in Oklahoma. The following cladogram shows the phylogenetic position of Acheloma, from Polley & Reisz, 2011.[4]
