It was a member of the extinct order of Multituberculata and lived at the same time as dinosaurs. It is placed in the suborder Plagiaulacida and family Plagiaulacidae. The genus Bolodon was named by Owen R. in 1871. Material has also been reported from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America. Some authors ascribe this genus to its own family, Bolodontidae.
