Classification. Therocephalia is an extinct suborder of eutheriodont therapsids from the Permian and Triassic.The therocephalians ("beast-heads") are named after their large skulls, which, along with the structure of their teeth, suggest that they were carnivores.Like other non-mammalian synapsids, therocephalians were once described as "mammal-like reptiles".
