A replacement name for the family Goniorhynchidae Carroll and Gaskill, 1978 (Amphibia: Microsauria)

Extract
Olson (1970) erected the genus Goniorhynchus for a Lower Permian microsaur amphibian from Oklahoma. Carroll and Gaskill (1978) used this genus as the type of a new family, Goniorhynchidae. Schultze and Foreman (1981) noted that the name Goniorhynchus Olson, 1970, was preoccupied by Goniorhynchus Hampson, 1896, and they proposed the replacement name Rhynchonkos; however, they retained the family name as Goniorhynchidae.
