Ictidodon is an extinct genus of therocephaliantherapsids from the Late Permian of South Africa. The type speciesIctidodon agilis was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1925.[1] Broom classified Ictidodon in the Scaloposauridae, a group of small-bodied therocephalians that are now thought to be juvenile forms of larger therocephalians. Ictidodon and many other scaloposaurids are now classified as basal members of the cladeBaurioidea.[2]
