Youngina capensis? BPI 3859 (Broom 1922; Late Permian, ~260 mya). The genus Youngina was once considered basal to both lepidosaurs and archosaurs. That was not validated when more taxa were added to the LRT as lepidosaurs were recovered with a seperate origin dating back to the origin of all reptiles.
As a genus, Youngina, is known from several skulls, not including the several attributed to Youngoides. The BPI 3859 specimen does not nest with the holotype (AMNH 5661) and the specimens related to it. So the BPI 3859 specimen is not a Youngina. Instead the BPI 3859 specimen nests with the SAM K7710 and BPI 375 specimens also wrongly assigned to Youngina.
