Digalodon is an extinct genus of kistecephalian dicynodont, known from the Karoo Basin of South Africa and the Upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of Zambia.[1] Originally given a sparse description in 1948,[2] for a time it was considered synonymous with other dicynodonts as a small juvenile individual of a larger genus, such as Aulacephalodon[3] or Dicynodontoides;[4] however it has since been recognized as a distinct species.[5]
