Driveria is an extinct genus of non-mammalian synapsids the Lower Permian of San Angelo Formation, Texas.[1] It is mostly known from several postcranial bones, including the scapula, pelvis, and a few vertebrae and ribs, although a fragment of the skull that might pertain to the upper temporal fenestra is also associated with this species.[2]
