Klameliidae is a family of extinct mammals from the Jurassic which are closely related to the Gobiconodonts.[2][3] It contains only two genera: Ferganodon and Klamelia.[1] They are distinguished from Gobiconodonts by parallelogram shaped lower molariforms and other slight differences in dental topography.[4]
