Ictidosuchoides is an extinct genus of ictidosuchid therocephalian. Fossils have been found from the Karoo Basin in South Africa. The genus is known to have been one of the few therocephalians to have survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event in this area, although its numbers were quite low after the extinction.^[1]^[2]
