Baeotherates is known from the holotype OMNH 55758, a dentary bone from the right mandible. It was collected within the Dolese Brothers Limestone Quarry of Richard's Spur in Comanche County, Oklahoma and found in the Garber Formation of the Sumner Group, which dates to the middle Sakmarian stage of the Early Permian, about 289 ± 0.68 million years ago.

Etymology
