Katumbia (named for the Katumbi Viwili locality[1]) is a genus of dicynodont from Late Permian (Changhsingian) Kawinga Formation of the Ruhuhu Basin, Tanzania.[1] and possibly the Upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of the Luangwa Basin, Zambia.[2] The type species, K. parringtoni, was originally referred to the genus Cryptocynodon, which is now recognized as a junior synonym of Endothiodon.[1]
