Prehistoric cynodont genera

Oligokyphus ("few cusps") is an extinct genus of herbivorous tritylodontid cynodont known from the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic of Europe, Asia and North America.

Megaconus is an extinct genus of allotherian mammal from the Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. The type and only species, Megaconus mammaliaformis was first described in the journal Nature in 2013. Megaconus is thought to have been a herbivore that lived on the ground, having a similar posture to modern-day armadillos and rock hyraxes. Megaconus was in its initial description found to be member of a group called Haramiyida. A phylogenetic analysis published along its description suggested that haramiyidans originated before the appearance of true mammals, but in co

Shenshou is an extinct monotypic genus of haramiyidan dating from the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic, approximately 160 million years ago. Fossils were recovered from the Tiaojishan Formation in the Liaoning province of China.

Arboroharamiya is an extinct genus of mammaliaform from the Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. Arboroharamiya belongs to a group of mammaliaforms called Haramiyida. The genus contains three species: A. jenkinsi (the type species), A. allinhopsoni and A. fuscus. Based on the melanosomes preserved in its fur, Arboroharamiya likely had a uniformly dark-brown coloration, similar to that of other early mammaliaforms including Vilevolodon and Megaconus.

Cifelliodon is an extinct genus of mammaliaform known from the Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah, United States, dated to the Early Cretaceous. It contains the species Cifelliodon wahkarmoosuch, described in 2018 based on an isolated skull. This specimen is well preserved and large for a mammaliaform of its time period. Its teeth have been compared to those of the hammer-headed bat, a fruit-eater, while CT scans of the inner skull indicate a highly developed sense of smell. Some of its features resemble those of earlier mammaliamorphs of the Triassic, while others are s

Vilevolodon is an extinct, monotypic genus of volant, arboreal euharamiyids from the Oxfordian age of the Late Jurassic of China. The type species is Vilevolodon diplomylos. The genus name Vilevolodon references its gliding capabilities, Vilevol (Latin for "glider"), while don (Greek for "tooth") is a common suffix for mammalian taxon titles. The species name diplomylos refers to the dual mortar-and-pestle occlusion of upper and lower molars observed in the holotype; diplo (Greek for "double"), mylos (Greek for "grinding").
