Parallelodontidae Dall 1898

Abstract

Family Parallelodontidae Dall, 1898 Remarks The systematic classification follows Carter et al. (2011). Note that several of the genus- and species-group names listed below are attributed to families other than the Parallelodontidae at present. Their current systematic classification is indicated in the respective Remarks sections. Genus-group names Many Palaeozoic species that are now placed in the family Parallelodontidae were formerly placed in genera that belong to other orders or families today.
