Perutherium is monospecific genus of notoungulates from the Late Paleocene to Early Eocene Muñani Formation of Peru. The holotype consists of a fragment of a lower jaw with the posterior half of the first molar and the anterior half of the second molar.[1] A fragment of an upper molar from the same location may also belong to Perutherium.
