Abstract: This paper describes a new genus of Phenacodontidae, Lnphocion. Although phenacodontids are important elements from Torrejonian (M. Paleocene) through Wasatchian (Early Eocene) of North America, only a few specimens have been found in Europe, and difinite phenacodontid has never been recorded in Asia until the discovery of the Wutu specimens. The Ectocion—like upper cheek teeth were collected from the Wutu Formation in 1993, along with Mesodmops dawsonae (Multituberculata), Changlelestes dissetiformis (Insectivora), palaeanodonts, carpolesüd plesiadapoids (Beard and Wang, 1995), rodents (Tong and Dawson, 1995), hyoposodontid condylarths, creodonts, carnivores, tillodonts, and primitive perissodactyls.
