Euharamiyida also known as Eleutherodontida, is clade of early mammals or mammal-like cynodonts from the Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous of Eurasia and possibly North America. The group is sometimes considered a sister group to Multituberculata,[1] or part of an earlier divergence within the synapsid line.[2][3] It is disputed whether or not they are related to the Haramiyids from the Late Triassic, such as Haramiyavia.[4] The morphology of their teeth indicates that they were herbivorous or omnivorous. The group is ecologically diverse, including both hyrax-like ground dwelling forms, and arboreal gliding forms similar to modern flying squirrels or colugos.[5][6]
Evolution
The position of euharamyidans is contested. They are either considered crown group mammals as members of Allotheria, related to multituberculates, or they are considered to stem-group mammals within the Mammaliaformes.[1][3] The position is often dependent on the relationships of euharamiyids to the Late Triassic haramiyids such as Haramiyavia and Thomasia. In some studies, the two groups are recovered as unrelated.[7][8]
