Chiniquodontoidea is a clade of cynodonts that is defined as including all probainognathians closer to mammals than to Probainognathus which is the more primitive form in Probainognathia. To Chiniquodontoidea pertain, beside families Chiniquodontidae, Therioherpetidae, Tritheledontidae, and the more diverse clade Mammaliaformes, an array of basal forms enumerated in the classification scheme below, following works by Rubidge & Sidor (2001), Martinelli et al. (2005) and Sidor & Hancox (2006).
