This interesting taxon is known from a single right maxilla, and so has not been included in our analyses, but it exhibits a number of dental features that are likely plesiomorphic relative to other phalangerids. These include the morphology of its P3, which has its major cutting crest parallel to the upper molars rather than oriented posterolingual to anterolabially as in most other known phalangerids (see char. 127); additionally, this crest lacks obvious enamel ridges (see char. 126), suggesting that the presence of these ridges (as seen in most phalangerids,
