Milleretta is an extinct genus of millerettid parareptile from the Late Permian of South Africa. Fossils have been found in the Balfour Formation.[3] Milleretta was a moderately sized, lizard-like animal, about 60 centimetres (24 in) in length. It was probably insectivorous.[4] Its only known species is Milleretta rubidgei, making Milleretta a monospecific genus.[5]
