Taxonomic list
• supersedes Krishtalka 1973 - he refers to the locality as "Cypress Hills"; the name is repeatedly preoccupied
"Mimetodon silberlingi": not in Fox's list: may actually be present, as mistaken repetition of N. hunteri is in its place
"Peradectes cf. elegans": not in Fox's list; may actually be present, as Fox may have misread Krishtalka et al.'s reference of a P. cf. elegans specimen to P. protinnominatus
