Permian stem-amniotes consisted of [[lepospondyli]] and [[Batrachosauria|batrachosaurs]], according to some phylogenies;<ref name="Ruta & Coates 2007">{{cite journal |last1=Ruta |first1=Marcello |last2=Coates |first2=Michael I. |title=Dates, nodes and character conflict: Addressing the Lissamphibian origin problem |journal=Journal of Systematic Palaeontology |date=January 2007 |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=69–122 |doi=10.1017/S1477201906002008 |bibcode=2007JSPal...5...69R |url=https://doi.org/10.1017/S1477201906002008 |language=en |issn=1477-2019}}</ref> according to others, stem-amniotes are represented only by [[Diadectomorpha|diadectomorphs]].<ref name="Marjanović & Laurin 2019">{{cite journal |last1=Marjanović |first1=David |last2=Laurin |first2=Michel |title=Phylogeny of Paleozoic limbed vertebrates reassessed through revision and expansion of the largest published relevant data matrix |journal=PeerJ |date=4 January 2019 |volume=6 |pages=e5565 |doi=10.7717/peerj.5565 |doi-access=free |pmid=30631641 |pmc=6322490 |language=en |issn=2167-8359}}</ref> 

Temnospondyls reached a peak of diversity in the Cisuralian, with a substantial decline during the Guadalupian-Lopingian following Olson's extinction, with the family diversity dropping below Carboniferous levels.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Ruta|first1=Marcello|last2=Benton|first2=Michael J.|title=Calibrated Diversity, Tree Topology and the Mother of Mass Extinctions: The Lesson of Temnospondyls|date=November 2008|journal=[[Palaeontology (journal)|Palaeontology]]|language=en|volume=51|issue=6|pages=1261–1288|doi=10.1111/j.1475-4983.2008.00808.x|bibcode=2008Palgy..51.1261R|s2cid=85411546|doi-access=free}}</ref>

[[Embolomeri|Embolomeres]], a group of aquatic crocodile-like limbed vertebrates that are [[Reptiliomorpha|reptilliomorphs]] under some phylogenies. They previously had their last records in the Cisuralian, are now known to have persisted into the Lopingian in China.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Chen|first1=Jianye|last2=Liu|first2=Jun|date=2020-12-01|title=The youngest occurrence of embolomeres (Tetrapoda: Anthracosauria) from the Sunjiagou Formation (Lopingian, Permian) of North China|journal=[[Fossil Record]]|volume=23|issue=2|pages=205–213|doi=10.5194/fr-23-205-2020|bibcode=2020FossR..23..205C |issn=2193-0074|doi-access=free}}</ref>

Modern amphibians ([[lissamphibia]]ns) are suggested to have originated during Permian, descending from a lineage of [[Dissorophoidea|dissorophoid]] temnospondyls<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Schoch|first=Rainer R.|date=January 2019|title=The putative lissamphibian stem-group: phylogeny and evolution of the dissorophoid temnospondyls|journal=[[Journal of Paleontology]]|language=en|volume=93|issue=1|pages=137–156|doi=10.1017/jpa.2018.67|bibcode=2019JPal...93..137S |issn=0022-3360|doi-access=free}}</ref> or [[Lepospondyli|lepospondyls]].<ref name="Marjanović & Laurin 2019"></ref>
