Antrodemus is a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur from the Jurassic of Colorado. It was originally believed to be an American version of Poekilopleuron called Poicilopluerodon, however, it was soon given its own genus. Today, it is commonly believed to be a synonym of Allosaurus. It is only known from a set of tail vertebrae.
