Agudotherium is an extinct genus of prozostrodontian cynodonts from the Late Triassic Candelária Formation of the Paraná Basin in southern Brazil. The genus contains one species, Agudotherium gassenae. A. gassenae is known from two specimens, both consisting of partial lower jaws with teeth.^[1]

Etymology[]

The generic name Agudotherium comes from the municipality of Agudo, Rio Grande do Sul, where the fossils were discovered, and the Greek word thērion (θηρίον), meaning "beast".^[1]
