Woutersia was a Triassic genus of 'symmetrodont'[1] and the only representative of its family.[2] It was originally classified as a kuehneotherid[1], but it has been suggested that it may be related to Docodonta.[1] Remains of W. mirabilis and W. butleri have been found in Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, France, while W. mirabilis has been found in Varangéville, France; remains have been dated to the Late Triassic,[1] 205.6 to 201.6 Ma.[2]
