Abstract
Hapalodectes paradux sp. nov. (Hapalodectidae, Mesonychia) is described on the base of the dentary fragment with M2-M3 from the Tsagan-Khushu locality in Mongolia (Upper Paleocene, Naran Bulak Formation, Zhigden Member). The M2 and M3 are approximately the same size, with a high protoconid, anteriorly displaced reduced metaconid, anterolingually directed protocristid, very deep posterior notch, narrow talonid, and distinct hypoconid, entoconid and hypoconulid. Based on dental characters, the new species is presumably related to the base of the lineage of Hapalodectes that dispersed to North America at the beginning of the Eocene. Tsagan-Khushu is the only known locality where two species of Hapalodectes co-occur (larger H. dux Lopatin, 2001 and smaller H. paradux sp. nov.).
期刊介绍：
Doklady Biological Sciences is a journal that publishes new research in biological sciences of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia in the form of short articles. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
