Deltavjatia was a procolophonid reptile from the Tatarian stage of the Permian time period. It had a large body of about 1.5 m (5 ft) in length.[4] Deltavjatia was an herbivore.[2] Deltavjatia lived in what is now Russia.[2] The first specimen of Deltavjatia was a specimen of a skull and lower mandobile (PIN 2212/1[2]), found in the Urpalov Formation in Kotelnich, Vyatka River.

Deltavjatia was named a subtaxon of Pareiasauridae by M.S.Y. Lee in 1997.[2] It was named Deltavjatia vjatkensis by Hartmann & Weinberg in 1937.[2] Pareiasuchus vjatkensis is the alternative combination of Deltavjatia vjatkensis.[2] Deltavjatia vjatkensis was also named Anthodon rossicus by Hartmann & Weinberg in 1937.[2]
