'''''Rubidgea''''' is a [[genus]] of [[Gorgonopsia|gorgonopsian]] from the upper [[Permian]] of [[South Africa]] and [[Tanzania]], containing the species '''''Rubidgea atrox'''''.{{Cite journal|last1=Rubidge|first1=Bruce S.|last2=Sidor|first2=Christian A.|date=2001|title=Evolutionary Patterns Among Permo-Triassic Therapsids|journal=Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics|volume=32|issue=1|pages=449–480|doi=10.1146/annurev.ecolsys.32.081501.114113 |bibcode=2001AnRES..32..449R }}{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cp26-CA2CDUC&q=++Chinsamy-Turan,+A.+ed.,+2011.+Forerunners+of+Mammals:+Radiation%E2%80%A2+Histology%E2%80%A2+Biology.+Indiana+University+Press.&pg=PR7|title=Forerunners of Mammals: Radiation • Histology • Biology|last=CHINSAMY-TURAN|first=ANUSUYA|date=2011-11-18|publisher=Indiana University Press|isbn=978-0-253-00533-5|language=en}} The generic name ''Rubidgea'' honours fossil hunter Sidney Rubidge. Its species name, ''atrox'', is derived from Latin, meaning "fierce, savage, terrible". ''Rubidgea'' is part of the [[gorgonopsia]]n subfamily [[Rubidgeinae]], a [[Derived (phylogenetics)|derived]] group of large-bodied gorgonopsians restricted to the Late [[Permian]] ([[Lopingian]]). The subfamily [[Rubidgeinae]] first appeared in the [[Tropidostoma Assemblage Zone|''Tropidostoma'' Assemblage Zone]]. They reached their highest diversity in the ''[[Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone|Cistecephalus]]'' and ''[[Daptocephalus Assemblage Zone|Daptocephalus]]'' assemblage zones of the [[Beaufort Group]] in [[South Africa]].{{Cite book|last=Lingham-Soliar|first=Theagarten|chapter=Mammal-Like Reptiles|date=2014|title=The Vertebrate Integument Volume 1: Origin and Evolution|pages=193–219|editor-last=Lingham-Soliar|editor-first=Theagarten|publisher=Springer Berlin Heidelberg|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-642-53748-6_8|isbn=978-3-642-53748-6}}{{Cite journal|last1=Day Michael O.|last2=Ramezani Jahandar|last3=Bowring Samuel A.|last4=Sadler Peter M.|last5=Erwin Douglas H.|last6=Abdala Fernando|last7=Rubidge Bruce S.|date=2015-07-22|title=When and how did the terrestrial mid-Permian mass extinction occur?
