Bemalambdidae is an extinct family of pantodont mammals known from Early and Middle Paleocene of China.
==Description== The bemalambdids are, along with Harpyodus and Alcidedorbignya, the most primitive pantodonts. Hypsilolambda is known only from a skull and teeth, but Bemalambda is known from complete cranial and postcranial specimens and is the best preserved mammal from Shanghuan. It was dog-sized (a large animal for its era) and omnivorous.
