Kapes is an extinct genus of procolophonid parareptile from the Lower and Middle Triassic of Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom.
The type species K. amaenus was named in 1975 from the banks of the Vychegda River in the Komi Republic of Russia.
In the same paper, K. serotinus was synonymized with K. majmesculae and another Russian species was assigned to Kapes called K. komiensis.
Labial and lingual cusps on the lower teeth are almost the same height and located close to each other.
[4] Below is a cladogram from Ruta et al. (2011) showing the placement of Kapes within this subfamily:[5] Coletta seca Pintosaurus magnidentis Sauropareion anoplus Kitchingnathus untabeni Phaanthosaurus ignatjevi Phaanthosaurus simus Eumetabolodon dongshengensis Theledectes perforatus Tichvinskia vjatkensis Pentaedrusaurus ordosianus Neoprocolophon asiaticus Sclerosaurus armatus Scoloparia glyphanodon Leptopleuron lacertinum Soturnia caliodon Hypsognathus fenneri Eumetabolodon bathycephalus Procolophon trigoniceps Teratophon spinigenis Thelerpeton oppressus Timanophon raridentatus Thelephon contritus Anomoiodon liliensterni Kapes amaenus Kapes bentoni Kapes komiensis Kapes majmesculae In their phylogenetic analyses, Butler et al. (2023) placed two Kapes species, K. bentoni and K. majmesculae, in Leptopleuroninae or in Procolophonidae, outside of both Leptopleuroninae and Procolophoninae.
