Milnererpeton is an extinct genus of branchiosaurid temnospondyl amphibian from the Late Carboniferous of New Mexico.^[1] The genus was originally described in 1996 under the name Milneria,^[2] but since the name Milneria is preoccupied by a genus of mollusks, the name Milnererpeton was proposed as a replacement in 2002.^[3] The only species is Milnererpeton huberi.
