Vilevolodon is an extinct genus of euharamiyids which existed in Asia during the Jurassic period. The type species is Vilevolodon diplomyos, which was described by Zhe-Xi Luo in 2017; it lived in what is now the Liaoning region of China during the late Jurassic (Oxfordian age). Vilevolodon and Maiopatagium furculiferum the two new species are offering clues to the ways various mammals have taken to the skies over evolutionary time scales.
