Capetus is an extinct genus of temnospondyl from the Upper Carboniferous of the Czech Republic. The Nýřany desposits of the Czech Republic are one of the richest Upper Carboniferous fossil sites in the world, yielding at least 700 tetrapod fossils, discovered from the 1870s onwards. Previously, Capetus was regarded by some authors as an edopoid, close either to Edops or to the cochleosaurids, but recent studies have shown that it is not an edopoid, being closer to Balanerpeton.

abstract	Capetus is an extinct genus of temnospondyl from the Upper Carboniferous of the Czech Republic. The Nýřany desposits of the Czech Republic are one of the richest Upper Carboniferous fossil sites in the world, yielding at least 700 tetrapod fossils, discovered from the 1870s onwards. Previously, Capetus was regarded by some authors as an edopoid, close either to Edops or to the cochleosaurids, but recent studies have shown that it is not an edopoid, being closer to Balanerpeton. Capetus was apparently rare in the Nýřany fauna, with only eight fossils out of 700 from the Nýřany assemblage belonging to this taxon.
