Taxonomy
Seymouria agilis was named by Olson (1980). Its type specimen is UCMP 143277 (= UCLA VP 5329), a partial skeleton (a fragmentary skull, a string of vertebrae extending from the atlas to proximal caudals, the girdles, and some limb elements), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is BC-8 (Chickasha Formation), which is in a Roadian/Wordian deltaic shale/shale in the Chickasha Formation of Oklahoma.

It was recombined as Macroleter agilis by Reisz and Laurin (2001).
