Avashishta bacharamensis ('remains from Bacharam') is an extinct genus of a possibly late surviving haramiyid from the Maastrichtian Lameta formation of India. It is known from a solitary molariform (possibly a right upper molariform) tooth. It might represent the last known non-mammalian synapsid.[1]
