Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The milleretids is an extinct group of anapsids that lived in South Africa during the Upper Permian. They were small insectivores and probably resembled modern lizards in appearance and lifestyle. An anapsid is an amniote whose skull does not have openings near the temples. While "anapsid reptiles" or "anapsida" are traditionally spoken of as if they were a monophyletic group, it has been suggested that several groups of reptiles that had anapsid skulls may be only distantly related: scientists still debate the exact relationship between the basal reptiles which first appeared in the late Carboniferous, the various Permian reptiles which had anapsid skulls, and the Testudines. Many modern paleontologists believe the Testudines are descended from diapsid reptiles which lost their temporal fenestrae, although that view is not generally accepted.
