Impumlophantsi (meaning "low nose") is an extinct genus of biarmosuchian therapsids from the Permian Abrahamskraal Formation (Beaufort Group) of South Africa.
The Impumlophantsi holotype specimen, SAM-PK-12118, was discovered in sediments of the Abrahamskraal Formation—a member of the Beaufort Group—on the Kruidfontein farm in Prince Albert, South Africa.
[2][1] In 2024, Matlhaga, Benoit & Rubidge described Impumlophantsi boonstrai as a new genus and species of burnetiamorph biarmosuchians based on these fossil remains.
The generic name, Impumlophantsi, means "low nose" in isiXhosa, referring to the notably inconspicuous nasal crest observed in the taxon.
[1] In their phylogenetic analyses, Matlhaga, Benoit & Rubidge (2024) recovered Impumlophantsi as a basal member of the biarmosuchian clade Burnetiamorpha.
