Hegetotheria

Hegetotheria is a suborder of the extinct mammalian order Notoungulata and includes two families, Archaeohyracidae and Hegetotheriidae. Cifelli (1993) indicated that the suborder Typotheria would be paraphyletic if it excluded members of Hegetotheria and he advocated inclusion of the hegetothere families in Typotheria.

Notes
  1. McKenna & Bell, 1997, pp. 465-466.
gollark: (it works with non-arrow functions, I just like these more)
gollark: Functions implicitly do it:```javascriptconst thing = () => { let v = 0 return () => { return v++ }}const incrementer = thing()console.log(incrementer())console.log(incrementer())```
gollark: The thing where functions capture their scope.
gollark: ```lualet otherTesting = [];for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { otherTesting[i] = function() { console.log(i); }}```does the same thing so I suppose it's just weirdness with closure in loops.
gollark: Er, 9, not 10.
