Asionyctia guoi Missiaen and Smith, 2005
Referred material: 132 jaw fragments, isolated teeth, and identifiable fragmentary teeth.
Discussion.—The nyctitheriid Asionyctia guoi , previously described from Subeng, is the type genus for the Asionyctiinae , an endemic Asian subfamily of Nyctitheriidae ( Missiaen and Smith 2005) . Since its publication, a few additional specimens have been identified, yielding a new total of 132 specimens. This makes A. guoi one of the most abundant species at Subeng, second only to Palaeostylops iturus , but does not add significant new morphological information.
Stratigraphic and geographic range.— Asionyctia guoi is currently only known from the Gashatan (late Paleocene) Nomogen Formation at Subeng ( Inner Mongolia, China).
