Bienotheroides is a genus of tritylodont therapsids from the Jurassic of China and Mongolia.[1] The genus contains four species, primarily known from cranial remains.[1] Along with some fellow tritylodonts, Bienotheroides is one of only a few non-mammalian synapsids to survive the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event.[2]
