Plagiaulacida
Taxonomy
Plagiaulacoidea was named by Ameghino (1889). Its type is Plagiaulax. It was considered paraphyletic by Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum (2001), Kielan-Jaworowska et al. (2004) and Cifelli et al. (2013) and Cifelli et al. (2014).
It was reranked as the order Plagiaulacoidea by Ameghino (1897); it was reranked as the suborder Plagiaulacoidea by Simpson (1928), Simpson (1929) and Huene (1940); it was misspelled as Plagiaulacoidae by Hay (1930), McKenna (1975), Clemens and Kielan-Jaworowska (1979), Canudo and Cuenca-Bescós (1996), McKenna and Bell (1997) and Carpenter (1998); it was corrected as Plagiaulacida by Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum (2001), Kielan-Jaworowska et al. (2004), Cifelli et al. (2013) and Cifelli et al. (2014).
It was assigned to Diprotodonta by Ameghino (1891); to Diprotodonta by Ameghino (1897); and to Multituberculata by Simpson (1928), Simpson (1929), Hay (1930), Huene (1940), McKenna (1975), Clemens and Kielan-Jaworowska (1979), Canudo and Cuenca-Bescós (1996), McKenna and Bell (1997), Carpenter (1998), Kielan-Jaworowska and Hurum (2001), Kielan-Jaworowska et al. (2004), Cifelli et al. (2013) and Cifelli et al. (2014).
