''Ischigualastia'' was a large [[quadruped]]al [[herbivore]] found in late [[Carnian]]-age strata of the Ischigualasto Formation (La Peña, Cancha de Bochas, and earliest Valle de la Luna members). It was a relatively common component of the local fauna, although not as abundant as the medium-sized herbivores ''[[Hyperodapedon]]'' and ''[[Exaeretodon]]''.{{Cite journal |last1=Martínez |first1=Ricardo N. |last2=Apaldetti |first2=Cecilia |last3=Alcober |first3=Oscar A. |last4=Colombi |first4=Carina E. |last5=Sereno |first5=Paul C. |last6=Fernandez |first6=Eliana |last7=Malnis |first7=Paula Santi |last8=Correa |first8=Gustavo A. |last9=Abelin |first9=Diego |date=2013 |title=Vertebrate succession in the Ischigualasto Formation |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257448913 |journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology |volume=32 |issue=Memoir 12: Basal sauropodomorphs and the vertebrate fossil record of the Ischigualasto Formation (Late Triassic: Carnian-Norian) of Argentina, sup1 |pages=10–30 |doi=10.1080/02724634.2013.818546 |hdl=11336/7771 |issn=0272-4634 |s2cid=37918101 |hdl-access=free}} It was one of the two dicynodonts which lived in the Ischigualasto Formation, the other being ''Jachaleria'', a close relative which is only found in the youngest layers of the formation.
