Holospondyli is a proposed clade of lepospondyls from the Early Carboniferous to the Late Permian[1] that includes the aistopods, the nectrideans, and possibly also Adelospondyli.[2] However, the monophyly of this clade remains highly contentious, as some parsimony trees recover aistopods as stem-tetrapods more primitive than temnospondyls or other groups of lepospondyls, with the most recent study tentatively supporting it.[3][4]
