Woutersia was a Triassic genus of ' symmetrodont' [2] and the only representative of the family Woutersiidae. [3] It was originally classified as a kuehneotheriid, [2] but it has been suggested that it may be related to Docodonta. [2] Remains of W. mirabilis and W. butleri have been found in the Gres à Avicula contorta Formation at Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, France, while W. mirabilis has been found in Varangéville, France; remains have been dated to the Late Triassic, [2] 205.6 to 201.6 Ma. [3]
