Mammalia

Taxonomy
Taeniodonta was named by Cope (1876). It is not extant.

It was reranked as the suborder Taeniodonta by Hay (1902), McKenna (1975), McKenna and Bell (1997) and Lopatin (2006); it was reranked as the unranked clade Taeniodonta by Cope (1889) and Rook and Hunter (2011).

It was assigned to Bunotheria by Cope (1889); to Bruta by Hay (1902); to Edentata by Gregory (1910); to Monodelphia by Hay (1930); to Eutheria by Carroll (1988) and Lucas et al. (1998); to Cimolesta by McKenna (1975), McKenna and Bell (1997) and Lopatin (2006); and to Eutheria by Rook and Hunter (2011).
