Spalacotherium is a
Galve, Spain.[2][3][1] The Lulworth taxon Peralestes longirostris, named by Owen in 1871, is a junior synonym of the type species S. tricuspidens. Spalacotherium is the namesake taxon of the family Spalacotheriidae, which is an extinct clade within Trechnotheria that may be closely related to the Gondwanan clade Meridiolestida,[1] or united with the family Zhangheotheriidae to form Symmetrodonta.[4]S. evansae is also from the Berriasian aged Angeac-Charente bonebed in western France.[5]
