Oudenodon is an extinct genus of dicynodont. It was common throughout southern Africa during the Late Permian. Several species of Oudenodon are known[2]. Both O. bainii, the type species, and O. grandis are known from South Africa[3][4]. Specimens of O. luangwensis have been found from Zambia[5]. One species, O. sakamenensis, is the only therapsid yet known from Madagascar[6]. It is the type genus of the family Oudenodontidae, which includes members such as Cteniosaurus, Tropidostoma, and Rhachiocephalus.
