Pachycynodon tedfordi Wang & Qiu, 2003: 117 . TYPE MATERIAL . — Holotype : left hemi-mandible with c-m2 by monotypy TYPE LOCALITY . — Ulanmannei, east of Saint-Jacques, Nei Mongol , China . TYPE HORIZON . — Early Oligocene. DIAGNOSIS. — That of the genus. REMARKS The type hemi-mandible was described ( Wang & Qiu 2003 ) as Pachycynodon . Nevertheless, despite the relatively swollen cheek teeth, as in all Amphicynodontidae , it differs from the species of the genus Pachycynodon by the p4, which is lower than the protoconid of m1, the reduced metaconid of m1 and the very short paraconid, the shape of the premolars, and the reduction of p1-p3, which seems to indicate a shorter muzzle. This fossil may belong in the family Amphicynodontidae but not into the genus Pachycynodon . The occurrence in Asia of W. tedfordi ( Wang & Qiu, 2003 ) n. comb. indicates a larger splitting of the family than previously thought.
