Haramiyavia was a genus of proto-mammals in the Haramiyida clade that existed about 200-million-years-ago in the Norian/Rhaetian period of the Triassic. However, more recently, in November 2015, scientists reported that Haramiyavia, may not have been mammals after all, but part of a more ancestral side branch instead.
