Eotheroides is an extinct genus of Eocene sirenian. It is an early member of the family Dugongidae, which includes the extant dugong. Fossils have been found from Egypt, India, and Madagascar. Eotheroides was first described by Richard Owen in 1875 under the name Eotherium, which was replaced by the current name in 1899. Based on endocranial casts, Eotheroiodes had a smaller endocranial volume than other contemporaneous sirenians such as Protosiren. Unlike extant sirenians, Eotheroides possesses a tentorium cerebelli, which appears as a distinct transverse groove on the skull.

  • Eotheroides — вимерлий рід еоценових сиренів. Це ранній представник родини дюгоневих. Скам'янілості були знайдені в Єгипті, Індії та на Мадагаскарі. Eotheroides вперше був описаний Річардом Оуеном у 1875 році під назвою Eotherium, яка була замінена на нинішню назву в 1899 році. Судячи з ендокраніальних зліпків, Eotheroiodes мав менший внутрішньочерепний об’єм, ніж інші сучасні сирени. (uk)
  • Eotheroides , 1905 è un genere estinto di mammiferi, antenato dei Sirenii e vissuto nel periodo Eocene, circa 40 milioni di anni fa. L'animale, contemporaneo di specie più primitive come Prorastomus e Pezosiren, è considerato uno dei più antichi esemplari riconducibili chiaramente sulla linea che ha portato ai moderni Sirenii, assieme a forme come Sirenavus, Eosiren e Prototherium. Il genere Eotheroides è stato classificato da Palmer nel 1899, sostituendo il precedente nome Eotherium datogli da Owen nel 1875 e, per alcuni studiosi, tuttora in vigore limitato alla specie E. majus.
