Paratrigodon is an extinct genus notoungulate belonging to the subfamily Toxodontinae, containing one species, P. euguii.^[1] Like its close relative Trigodon, it is known for the presence of a horn-like protuberance on its forehead. Fossils of Paratrigodon are known from the Arroyo Chasicó Formation dating from the Chasicoan period, and teeth from the Laventan-aged Quebrada Honda Fauna of Bolivia were also associated with the genus, although considered too different from the type species to be assigned to it.^[1]
