. Cifelli (1983a)considered referred specimens of these taxa to be too fragmentary to determine a clear affinity,but suggested the referred specimens represent deciduous teeth of a henricosborniid notoungulate based on the presence of a metaconule-derived crest connecting with the ectoloph wall. Indeed, probably due to their limited fossil record, thus far no members of this family have ever been included in a phylogenetic analysis.

C, same as (B) but using a smoothing function that averages the different occurrences aiding the eye in seeing patterns. In (A) the number of genera for each family is indicated next to the name between brackets.In (C) the function geom_smooth from the R package ggplot v.3.4, method = loess and span = 0.5 was used.In (B) and (C) apart from the standard Periods, Epochs, and Ages below, the SALMAs are indicated in grey boxes crossing the plots. The Tiupampan and Peligran SALMAs and the Bonaerian and Lujanian SALMAs are taken as only two temporal units instead of four for the plots. The data on taxa and occurrences were taken from Supporting information, Table S1, and the temporal information on SALMAs were taken from Supporting information, File S6. Note that the two genera of amilnedwarsids were not included in this plot.Note that in the Discussion section, we proposed to redefine the families Anisolambdidae and Sparnotheriodontidae as the subfamilies Anisolambdinae and Sparnotheriodontinae of the family Anisolambdidae.

Diversity of litoptern and associated early SANU families expressed as the number of genera.A, pie chart expressing the relative diversity of each family. B, diversity over time of the different families of interest with colours corresponding to the families listed in (A). C, same as (B) but using a smoothing function that averages the different occurrences aiding the eye in seeing patterns. In (A) the number of genera for each family is indicated next to the name between brackets.In (C) the function geom_smooth from the R package ggplot v.3.4, method = loess and span = 0.5 was used.In (B) and (C) apart from the standard Periods, Epochs, and Ages below, the SALMAs are indicated in grey boxes crossing the plots. The Tiupampan and Peligran SALMAs and the Bonaerian and Lujanian SALMAs are taken as only two temporal units instead of four for the plots. The data on taxa and occurrences were taken from Supporting information, Table S1, and the temporal information on SALMAs were taken from Supporting information, File S6. Note that the two genera of amilnedwarsids were not included in this plot.Note that in the Discussion section, we proposed to redefine the families Anisolambdidae and Sparnotheriodontidae as the subfamilies Anisolambdinae and Sparnotheriodontinae of the family Anisolambdidae.

). This family was proposed by Cifelli (1983a) to classify specimens from Itaboraí (Itaboraian SALMA) with bunodont didolodontid-like dentition and litoptern-like tarsals. The tarsals show specializations that among SANUs are only present in litopterns, which include a spool-shaped astragalar body and a posterior astragalocalcaneal facet that allows rapid flexion of the crurotarsal joint (Cifelli 1983a). The taxonomic changes generated from this familial proposal included the consideration of

In fact, there has not been any phylogenetic analysis that includes didolodontids alongside representatives of all litoptern families, protolipternids, and the different SANUs orders (
