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).
