Isengops (lit. 'horn face') is an extinct genus of burnetiamorph therapsid from the Late Permian of Zambia. The genus contains a single species, Isengops luangwensis, known from a partial skull. It is characterized by a nasal ridge, tall, triangular bosses over the orbits, and paired supratemporal "horns".[1]
