Abstract

Qi (1990a) named a new hyracodontid genus Ulania from the Middle Eocene deposits of Nei Mongol (Inner Mongolia), China. However, the generic name has been preoccupied by Ulania Lin & Zhang, 1979, a Cambrian trilobite (Zhu, et al., 1979). We therefore propose a new generic name Ulanodon nom. nov. to replace Ulania Qi, 1990.
