[...] The name Anthracosauroideae was
originally erected by Watson (1929), and revived by Smithson (1985) as
a suborder of Anthracosauria (with Seymouriamorpha as the other
suborder).
Ah... yes. I got that wrong: Anthracosauria was the cover term that included the seymouriamorphs, Anthracosauroideae was just the real anthracosaurs (Embolomeri and Eoherpeton). The ending reminds me of the tradition of using -oidei (masculine, suddenly) for fish suborders and occasionally salamander suborders.
Meanwhile, after Anthracosauria lay unused for decades, Anthracosauria has been defined as everything closer to
Anthracosaurus than to
Eryops or the extant frog
Ascaphus.

Eldeceeon according to the phylogenetic analyses in the new paper.
