Botucaraitherium is an extinct genus of prozostrodontian cynodonts from the Late Carnian in the Candelária Formation of the Paraná Basin in southeastern Brazil. It is known from a single type species, Botucaraitherium belarminoi. The genus name is derived from the Botucaraí Hill, which dominates the landscape of Candelária, Rio Grande do Sul.[1] The species epithet honors Belarmino Stefanello, a volunteer at the , who found the fossil.[2]
