Taxonomic remark From Rich et al., 2020: The placement of the ausktribosphenids within the Mammalia is contentious. Rich et al. (1997) tentatively assigned them to the Placentalia while Luo, et al. (2001) erected the Infraclass Australosphenida into which they placed the ausktribosphenids and excluded the placentals, which were assigned to their second new Infraclass Boreosphenida that was simultaneously proposed.
