Siriusgnathus is a traversodontid cynodont from the Carnian channel sandstones and mudstones of the Candelária Formation, belonging to the Santa Maria Supersequence of the Paraná Basin in southeastern Brazil.[1] It includes one species, Siriusgnathus niemeyerorum and was described in 2018.[2] The species epithet refers to the Niemeyer locality in Agudo, Rio Grande do Sul. The cynodont was found together with archosauromorphs, dinosauromorphs and other therapsids of Probainognathia and Prozostrodontia.[3] The formation has provided other fossils as Brasilitherium riograndensis, Brasilodon quadrangularis, Irajatherium hernandezi, Prozostrodon brasiliensis.[4]
