Albertogaudrya is an extinct genus of astrapotherian mammal that lived in present-day Salta, Argentina (25°48′S 65°24′W / 25.8°S 65.4°W, paleocoordinates 28°12′S 55°54′W / 28.2°S 55.9°W) during the Eocene (Casamayoran SALMA) 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago.^[4][5] It is named after French palaeontologist Albert Gaudry.

Species

A. carahuasensis differs from A. unica in having smaller premolars, with m1 having longer talonid and wider trigonid, p3-m1 with shallower external sulcu and lacking cingulae, and less curved hypolyphid.^[3] A. carahuasensis is known from a fragmentary mandible.^[5]
