Taxonomic remark From Welsh, 2021: Martin and Lim (2001) erected the family Palaeogalidae within Feliformia along with the inclusion of the new genus and species Cryptailurus tedfordi. Cryptailurus exhibited more cranial characters that demonstrated affinities with the Feliformia, including the separation of the ectotympanic and entotympanic chambers, as opposed to Hunt’s (1989) observations. Palaeogale and the associated family’s position within Feliformia were further reinforced though phylogenetic analysis, with Palaeogalidae positioned as the basal-most feliform (Wang and Zhang 2015). Barrett et al. (2020) disputed the validity of the family and suggested the family is polyphyletic based on their observations within Cryptailurus tinaynakti. For this study, Palaeogalidae is considered valid until further analysis can test the validity of the family and phylogenetic positions of genera. [details]
