| Abstract: | A new genus and species of the Paroxyclaenidae is described,Merialus martinae, and the family is reviewed and divided into two subfamilies, the Paroxyclaeninae and the Merialinae, new. The two species ofDyspterna are attributed to two genera, of whichEuhookeria is new; Dyspterninae Kretzoi, 1943, is resurrected to includeDyspterna woodi, Cryptopithecus andKochictis; the subfamily is referred to the Pantolestidae.Vulpavoides is considered valid and includes“Russellites” simplicidens;V. vanvaleni n. sp. is described from Bouxwiller.Kiinkerishella andDulcidon are discussed, as are possible relationships between the Ptolemaiidae and the Merialine paroxyclaenids. |
