Taxonomic remark A presumed plesiadapid according to the describers, although Godinot, 2007 states: Because the posterior molar seems much more salient lingually than the preceding one, it would be important to check if the last one could not be a DP4/. If the posterior one were an M1/, it could possibly pertain to Panobius found in the same locality and having apparently a comparable size (Panobius would then appear similar to some omomyids like Trogolemur). If examination of the specimen confirmed that the posterior tooth is an M3/ (e.g., if the metacone is much lower than the paracone), other affinities would be indicated, although probably not plesiadapid.
