Scalopognathus multituberculatus is a therocephalian from the Early Triassic of the Komi Republic of Russia.[1] It was first named and described in 1974 by Leonid Tatarinov from a singular lower jaw.[2][3] He later found more material, including a partial skull and a few vertebrae, belonging to this species.[1] It is currently the only species in the genus Scalopognathus.
