Is-superfamilja Carpolestoidea hija l-iżgħar superfamilja fost it-tlieta ta' l-ordni Plesiadapiformes kemm fin-numru ta' ġeneri kif ukoll fin-numru ta' speċi. Din tikkonsisti minn familja waħda (Carpolestidae), 2 sottofamilji (Carpolestinae u Parvocristinae), 6 ġeneri (Parvocristes, Carpocristes, Carpodaptes, Carpolestes, Carpomegodon u Elphidotarsius) u bosta speċi kollha estinti.
