They had the appearance of large, digitigrade, extinct, tapirlike mammals with relatively short, slender limbs and five-toed feet with broad, flat phalanges; restricted to the Paleocene deposits of Brazil and Argentina.


Only one genus (Carodnia) constitutes the single family (Carodniidae) in the order. The dentition is complete with strong, procumbent, chisel-shaped incisors, strong sharp-pointed canines, and low-crowned cheek teeth with bilophodont molars. The affinities of the Xenungulata remain uncertain. Affinities with the Dinocerata are strongly supported by the dental characteristics, but the structure of the tarsus suggests that the xenungulates had common ancestry with the Pyrotheria, to which they were tentatively assigned originally.
