-'''Brasilodontidae''' is an extinct [[family (biology)|family]] of [[cynodont]]s closely related to mammals. In life, brasilodontids were small-bodied and probably [[insectivorous]].<ref name=BJF12>{{cite journal| last1 = Bonaparte | first1 = Jose  F.| title = Evolution of the Brasilodontidae (Cynodontia-Eucynodontia)| journal = Historical Biology| volume = 25| issue = 5–6| pages = 1–11| year = 2012| doi = 10.1080/08912963.2012.731154}}</ref> Most brasilodontid remains are known from the [[Late Triassic]] of Brazil, having been found in the municipalities of [[Candelária, Rio Grande do Sul|Candelária]] and [[Faxinal do Soturno]]. The species ''[[Brasilodon|Brasilodon quadrangularis]]'', is known only from Paleorrota.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://home.arcor.de/ktdykes/tritheledonta.htm |title=Brasilodon quadrangularis |publisher=Home.arcor.de |access-date=2010-01-31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100424033052/http://home.arcor.de/ktdykes/tritheledonta.htm |archive-date=2010-04-24 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lume.ufrgs.br/handle/10183/6179 |title=Univerdidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul |publisher=Lume.ufrgs.br |access-date=2010-01-31}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fossilworks.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?action=referenceInfo&reference_no=34673|title=Fossilworks: Gateway to the Paleobiology Database|website=fossilworks.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fossilworks.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?action=taxonInfo&taxon_no=174540|title=Fossilworks: Brasilitherium riograndensis|website=fossilworks.org}}</ref> Brasilodonts are also known from Argentina. An Indian species of cynodont called ''[[Panchetocynodon damodarensis]]'' has also been assigned to Brasilodontidae. It dates back to the [[Early Triassic]], tremendously extending the temporal range of the family. However, ''Panchetocynodon'' is unlikely to be a brasilodontid given its age.<ref name=BJF12/>
