Embrithosaurus was a pareiasaur from the Permian time period.

 Embrithosaurus schwarzi is the type species of Embrithosaurus. The smooth dermal plates and the nine cusps in its teeth suggest it was also the most advanced.

 Embrithosaurus strubeni - the skull of this species is large and deep, and high in the jugal region.

 This species was originally the type species of Embrithosaurus's synonym, Nochelosaurus by Haughton & Boonstra. In 1969, Boonstra thought it belonged under the Bradysaurus genus. But Kuhn thought that it belonged under the Embrithosaurus genus.

 Embrithosaurus angustus - the skull of this reptile is long and narrow. This indicates that it might have had a different diet than other pareiasaurs. This was named the type species for Embrithosaurus's synonym Dolichoparia.

 Embrithosaurus was from the Permian of  South Africa,  Russia, and  Mongolia.

 A specimen of Embrithosaurus schwarzi was found in the Karoo Basin, in South Africa.
