Tetheopsis is an extinct genus of dinocerates from Eocene North America. The name of the genus derives from the Greek "tethe" (meaning "grandmother") and "opsis" (meaning "appearance").[2] Tetheopsis has only been found in the Washakie Basin, with all specimens being found on or near Haystack Mountain.[2]
