Plesiadapoidea

Minn Wikipedija, l-enċiklopedija ħielsa.

Plesiadapoidea hija superfamilja ta' mammiferi plaċentati estinti, eżattament uħud mill-mammiferi li huma l-aktar relatati fil-qrib mal-primati il-familja tax-xadini, jekk mhux saħansitra, l-prekursuri tagħhom.

Din is-superfamilja qegħda kklassifikata fil-klassi Mammalia, fis-sottoklassi Theria, fl-infraklassi Eutheria (il-plaċentati), fis-superordni Euarchontoglires u fl-ordni Plesiadapiformes ma' 2 superfamilji oħra, li huma Carpolestoidea u Paramomyoidea.

Is-superfamilja Plesiadapoidea hija t-tieni l-akbar superfamilja fost it-tlieta ta' l-ordni Plesiadapiformes kemm fin-numru ta' ġeneri kif ukoll fin-numru ta' speċi. Din tikkonsisti minn 3 familji (Chronolestidae, Plesiadapidae u Saxonellidae), 3 sottofamilji (Jattadectinae, Pandemoniinae u Plesiadapinae), 10 ġeneri (Chronolestes, Jattadectes, Pandemonium, Chiromyoides, Nannodectes, Platychoerops, Plesiadapis, Pronothodectes, Russellodon u Saxonella) u bosta speċi kollha estinti.
