Taxonomic remark Listed as a synonym of Pteronarctos by McKenna & Bell, 1997, however treated as an accepted genus by Berta, 2018. From that work: A later diverging lineage more closely allied with pinnipeds than with Enaliarctos is Pteronarctos from the late Miocene (19–15Ma) of coastal Oregon. Pteronarctos is recognized as the earliest pinniped to have evolved the unique maxilla diagnostic of modern pinnipeds. ... Closely related to Pteronarctos from the same stratigraphic unit is Pacificotaria. [details]
