Phascolestes
Phascolestes is a genus of extinct mammal from the Berriasian epoch of Early Cretaceous Southern England. The type and only species is Phascolestes mustelulus, which was named by Richard Owen in 1871 for dental material from the Lulworth Formation. "Phascolestes" is a close relative of co-existing taxon "Achyrodon" within the subfamily Kurtodontinae of the family Dryolestidae, with "Kurtodon" being a junior synonym of "Phascolestes" although the subfamily name is still applicable.
