Haramiyavia was a genus of synapsid in the Haramiyida clade that existed about 200 million years ago in the Norian/Rhaetian period of the Triassic. Like other haramiyidans, it was likely a non-mammalian mammaliaformes[1][2]

A study involving Mesozoic mammal dietary habits ranks it among insectivorous taxa.[3]
