Lycaenodon is an extinct genus of biarmosuchian therapsids from the Late Permian of South Africa. It is known from a single species, Lycaenodon longiceps, which was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1925. Both are small-bodied biarmosuchians. Two specimens are known, and both preserve only the front portions of the skull. These specimens come from the Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone of the Karoo Basin. Broom attributed the back portion of a third skull to Lycaenodon, but subsequent examiners considered it to belong to a gorgonopsian or dinocephalian and not a biarmosuchian. Most of the distinguishing features of Lycaenodon come from its palate. As a member of Biarmosuchia, the most basal group of therapsids, Lycaenodon shares many features with earlier and less mammal-lik

| - Lycaenodon longiceps és una espècie de sinàpsid extint del clade dels biarmosucs que visqué durant el Permià superior en allò que avui en dia és Sud-àfrica. Es tracta de l'única del gènere Lycaenodon. Formava part del grup més basal de teràpsids i, per tant, era força semblant a sinàpsids poc mamiferoides més primitius, com ara el dimetrodont. El seu nom genèric, Lycaenodon, significa 'dent de llop' en llatí, mentre que el seu nom específic, longiceps, vol dir 'cap llarg'. (ca)
- Il lichenodonte (Lycaenodon longiceps) è un terapside estinto, appartenente ai biarmosuchi. Visse nel Permiano superiore (circa 259 - 254 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Sudafrica. (it)

As a member of Biarmosuchia, the most basal group of therapsids, Lycaenodon shares many features with earlier and less mammal-like synapsids like Dimetrodon. A 2012 phylogenetic analysis of biarmosuchians found Lycaenodon to be a close relative of the derived clade Burnetiamorpha. (en)
