†Pronothodectes †Chiromyoides †Nannodectes †Plesiadapis †Platychoerops †Jattadectes Plesiadapinae Trouessart, 1897 Plesiadapidae is a family of plesiadapiform mammals related to primates known from the Paleocene and Eocene of North America, Europe, and Asia.

[3] McKenna and Bell[1] recognized two subfamilies (Plesiadapinae and Saxonellinae) and one unassigned genus (Pandemonium) within Plesiadapidae.

More recently Saxonella (the only saxonelline) and Pandemonium have been excluded from the family,[4] leaving only a redundant Plesiadapinae.

Within the family, Pronothodectes is the likely ancestor of all other genera, while Plesiadapis may be directly ancestral to both Chiromyoides and Platychoerops.
