Triconolestes is an extinct genus of Late Jurassic eutriconodont mammal from the Morrison Formation, present in stratigraphic zones 4.^[1] Known from only a single molar, it is a small mammal typically considered an amphilestid.^[2]^[3] However, it has also been compared to Argentoconodon ,^[2] which has been considered a volaticothere related to gliding mammals such as Volaticotherium and Ichthyoconodon .^[4]^[5]
