Capulomala is an extinct genus of stereospondyl temnospondyl known from the Triassic. Separate species are recognised, C. panchetensis found in the Panchet Formation of India and C. arcadiaensis from the Tank locality of the Arcadia Formation, Australia.

Description

Capulomala is described on the basis of postglenoid areas of the mandible, which possess a uniquely hypertrophied postglenoid process. Capulomala cannot be reliably associated with any known cranial material.
