Itatodon is an extinct genus of primitive mammaliaforms known from the Bathonian aged Itat Formation of Russia . The genus is named after the formation, with the species being named after Leonid Petrovich Tatarinov who described the first docodont from Asia. It is known from a holotype right lower molar[1] and referred isolated right lower molar and fragment of the left lower molar.[2] When it was first described, it was thought to be a docodontan, but one recent phylogenetic studies have assigned it, along with its close relative Paritatodon to Shuotheriidae,[3] while others continue to consider it a docodont.
