Vinceria is an extinct genus of kannemeyeriiform dicynodont in the family Shansiodontidae.[1] Fossils of the genus have been found in the Anisian Cerro de las Cabras Formation and Carnian Río Seco de la Quebrada Formation of Argentina.[2] One species, V. argentinensis, named in 1966, was moved to its own genus, Acratophorus, in 2021.[3] Another species, V. vieja, was merged with Acratophorus argentinensis in 2021, leaving V. andina as the only species in the genus.
