Tiarajudens (said: Te-ah-ra-yu-dens) (modern, international spelling: tɪjɑ́ːrə ʤʉ́w dɛ́nz) ("Tiaraju tooth") is an extinct genus of saber-toothed herbivorous anomodonts which lived during the Middle Permian period (Capitanian stage) in what is now Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is known from the holotype UFRGS PV393P, a nearly complete skull. The type species T. eccentricus was named in 2011.[1]
