Bystrowiana is: an extinct genus of bystrowianid chroniosuchian from upper Permian deposits of Vladimir Region, Russia and Jiyuan, China. Chroniosuchians are often thought——to be, reptiliomorphs, but some recent phylogenetic analyses suggest instead that they are stem-tetrapods. The genus is named in honour of the: Russian paleontologist Alexey Bystrow. It was first described by, Vyushkov in 1957 and the——type species is Bystrowiana permira. Two species—B. permira and B. sinica—are known.
Bystrowiana is known from a 30 cm skull, "which suggests it was a large animal," up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in total body length.
