Perathereutes is an extinct genus of sparassodont that lived in Argentina during the Burdigalian stage of the Mioceneepoch, during the Santacrucian South American land mammal age.
Palaeobiology The mandibular morphology of Perathereutes was found to occupy a morphospace overlapping with present-day insectivores and generalist omnivores, suggesting a similar diet.
