Eurotherium is an extinct genus of proviverrine hyaenodontid from the Eocene of Eurasia[1]. The genus was established by Polly and Lange-Badré in 1993 for two previously described species Prototomus theriodis (Van Valen, 1965)[2] and Allopterodon matthesi (Lange-Badré & Haubold, 1990)[3]. Eurotherium was a small, scansorial insectivore or carnivore that was closely related or ancestral to the derived subgroup Hyaenodontinae.[4][5]
