}} Pascualgnathus is an extinct genus of traversodontid cynodonts from the Middle Triassic of Argentina. Fossils have been found from the Río Seco de la Quebrada Formation. The type species P. polanskii was named in 1966. DescriptionPascualgnathus is a small traversodontid. It has large upper canine teeth and small postcanine teeth. The postcanine teeth of Pascualgnathus and other traversodontids are wide, allowing them to eat plant material. The upper postcanines of Pascualgnathus are rectangular. Each has a central ridge and a cusp on the side facing the mouth. There are also two cusps on the side of the tooth facing the lips, with one being larger than the other. The lower postcanines have less of a rectangular shape and have only two cusps. Unlike the upper postcanines, they are longer than they are wide.[1]ClassificationWhen Pascualgnathus was first named in 1966, it was considered a member of the family Diademodontidae more closely related to the African genus Trirachodon than the South American genus Diademodon.[2] Diademodon was later uncovered from the Río Seco de la Quebrada Formation alongside Pascualgnathus, suggesting that the ancestors of Pascualgnathus migrated from Africa to South America.[3] References1. ^{{cite journal |last=Martinelli |first=Agustín G. |year=2010 |title=On the postcanine dentition of Pascualgnathus polanskii Bonaparte (Cynodontia, Traversodontidae) from the Middle Triassic of Argentina |journal=Geobios |volume=43 |issue=6 |pages=629–638 |doi=10.1016/j.geobios.2010.03.006}} {{Cynodontia|C.}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q7141870}}{{paleo-therapsid-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal |last=Bonaparte |first=J.F. |year=1966 |title=Chronological survey of the tetrapod-bearing Triassic of Argentina |url=http://biostor.org/cache/pdf/49/dd/44/49dd44dc76e6005e83ed363dbfe69cc0.pdf |journal=Breviora |volume=251 |pages=1–13}}{{Dead link|date=January 2017}} 3. ^{{cite journal |last=Martinelli |first=Agustín G. |last2=De La Fuente |first2=Marcelo |last3=Abdala |first3=Fernando |year=2009 |title=Diademodon tetragonus Seeley, 1894 (Therapsida: Cynodontia) in the Triassic of South America and its biostratigraphic implications |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |volume=29 |issue=3 |pages=852–862 |doi=10.1671/039.029.0315}} 4 : Cynognathian genera|Middle Triassic synapsids of South America|Fossil taxa described in 1966|Taxa named by José Bonaparte |
