Edvardotrouessartia is an extinct genus of South American placental mammal that lived during the Middle Eocene of Patagonia. It belonged to the family Notostylopidae, and the order Notoungulata.

Etymology

Edvardotrouessartia was named to honor the french zoologist Édouard Louis Trouessart.[citation needed]

Characteristics

Edvardotrouessartia is the largest known member of the family Notostylopidae.[2]
