Plesiochoffatia

Plesiochoffatia is an extinct mammal of the Upper Jurassic. It was a relatively early member of the also extinct order Multituberculata. It was a resident of Portugal during the "age of the dinosaurs." It's in the suborder "Plagiaulacida" and family Paulchoffatiidae.
The genus Plesiochoffatia was named by Hahn G. and Hahn R. in 1999. It has also been known as Parachoffatia Hahn & Hahn, 1998.
Remains have been found in the Kimmeridgian -age strata of Guimarota, Portugal. Three species were described in the same study under the name of Parachoffatia;. As something else had already been given that name, the genus was renamed a year later.
