Parahenodus is an extinct genus of henodontid placodont only known from a skull, described in 2018. It lived during the Late Triassic (Carnian–Norian). The skull, named and described as Parahenodus atancensis, was discovered in Keuper Facies of the Castilian Branche of the Iberian Range in the reservoir of El Atance (Sigüenza, Spain ). It was the sister taxon to Henodus.[1]
