Genera

Klameliidae is a family of extinct mammals from the Jurassic which are closely related to the Gobiconodonts. [2] [3] It contains only two genera: Ferganodon and Klamelia. [1] They are distinguished from Gobiconodonts by parallelogram shaped lower molariforms and other slight differences in dental topography. [4]
