The Neotherapsida are a clade of therapsids. The clade includes anomodonts and the more derived theriodonts, which include mammals.

Distribution

In the Severodvinian age of the Tatarian stage of the Permian time period, Neotherapsida lived in Russia.[3][4]

In the Jurassic time period, basal Neotherapsida lived in Lesotho.[3]

In the Cretaceous period, basal Neotherapsida lived in Australia and Russia.

The Neotherapsida were named and classified as a subgroup of the clade Eutherapsida by James Allen Hopson in 1999.[3][5]

Otsheria, an anomodont

Anomocephalus, a primitive anomodont that retained a full set of teeth

Aulacocephalodon, a dicynodont, a herbivore with two tusks

Kannemeyeria, a dicynodont, was one of the first large herbivores of the Triassic.
