Pitheculites ipururensis was named by Stutz et al. (2022) [Diagnosis. Pitheculites of intermediate size, being closer to the sizeof P. rothi. It differs from other representatives of Pitheculites in having longer cristid posterior to the metaconid and a wider hypoconulid shelf on the m2. It differs from P. rothi in having a narrower and less quadrangular m2, with short and narrow trigonid, paraconid present (as in P. minimus), postentocristid more posteriorly positioned and merged with the postcristid, and postcristid oblique. It differs from P. chenche in having a crestid-like postentocristid in m1. It differs from P. minimus in having m1 with a cuspid-like entocristid (as in P. chenche), while in P. minimus it is crested-like.]. Its type specimen is MUSM 4024, a set of teeth (right m2), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is TAR-31, which is in a Serravallian terrestrial horizon in the Ipururo Formation of Peru.
