"Karamuru" is a genus of prestosuchid archosaur from the Middle Triassic-age Santa Maria Formation of Brazil. It was found in the geopark of paleorrota. It is based on remains that had been assigned to "Prestosuchus chininiquensis", including a nearly complete skull. There is some uncertainty about the publication date and authors; as noted by Langer "et al." (2007), Kischlat (2000) records it as having been published by Kischlat and Barberena, with no year given.cite book |last=Langer |first=Max C. |coauthors=Ribeiro, Ana M.; Schultz, Cesar L.; and Ferigolo, Jorge |year=2007 |chapter=The continental tetrapod-bearing Triassic of south Brazil |title=The Global Triassic |editor=Lucas, S.G.; and Spielmann, J.A.

"Karamuru" would have been a carnivorous animal, perhaps 7 meters long (23 ft) and weighing 700 kilograms (1500 lb).cite web |url=http://www.royalsul.com.br/paleo/meio.asp?dinocod=2 |title=Karamuru vorax |accessdate=2008-01-08 |work=O Rio Grande do Sol no tempo dos dinossaros |publisher=UFRGS |language=Portuguese ]
