Bolotridon

Bolotridon is an extinct genus of epicynodontian cynodont.

It was renamed from its original genus designation of Tribolodon (Harry Govier Seeley, 1895), which was already occupied by a genus of cyprinid fish named in 1883 by Sauvage.

The name Bolotridon was coined by Brian W. Coad in a 1977 publication as an anagram of Tribolodon.

[1] Fossils of the genus were found in the Anisian Cynognathus Assemblage Zone of the Burgersdorp Formation of South Africa.
