Arboroharamiya
''Arboroharamiya'' is an extinct genus of early mammal (or possibly a non-mammalian mammaliaform) from the Middle Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. ''Arboroharamiya'' belongs to a group of mammaliaforms called Haramiyida. The type species ''Arboroharamiya jenkinsi'' was described in the journal ''Nature'' in 2013 alongside a description of the closely related haramiyidan ''Megaconus''. Unlike ''Megaconus'', which is thought to have been ground-dwelling, ''Arboroharamiya'' was arboreal. It has a long tail that might have been prehensile, and very long fingers. Based on the shape of its teeth, ''Arboroharamiya'' might have been an omnivore or a seed eater.
When ''Arboroharamiya'' was included in a phylogenetic analysis of early mammals and mammaliaforms, Haramiyida was found to be a group within Mammalia, the true mammals. However, ''Megaconus'' was included in a different phylogenetic analysis, and that analysis placed Haramiyida outside Mammalia as a more basal ("primitive") group of mammaliaforms. The classification of ''Arboroharamiya'' and other haramiyidans as true mammals fits with what most previous studies have found, but since ''Arboroharamiya'' and ''Megaconus'' were not included in the same phylogenetic analysis, their position within Mammaliaformes remains uncertain.〔
==Description==
''Arboroharamiya'' is the largest known haramiyidan, estimated to have weighed about 354 g. It has several features in common with living mammals, including a lower jaw formed by a single bone, the dentary, and hands and feet that each have four fingers with three bones each and one finger with two bones. ''Arboroharamiya'' is unlike any modern mammal in having a lower jaw that can move up, down, and backward, but not forward. It has a rodent-like dentition with enlarged incisors and molars and no canines. A rodent-like dentition is also seen in Multituberculata, an early group of mammals that might be closely related to ''Arboroharamiya'', but it probably evolved independently in ''Arboroharamiya''.〔
