Hilalia

Hilalia is an extinct genus of condylarth that lived during the Eocene.

[1] It was the last surviving genus of Pleuraspidotheriids, which were previously thought to have gone extinct during the Late Palaeocene.

[2] Four species have been described, differing from each other primarily by size and premolar morphology.

[1] During the Eocene, Turkey is believed to have been an island ecosystem, harboring many taxa that had gone extinct on mainland areas earlier.

[3] Living alongside Hilalia were embrithopods and various metatherians, such as the predatory Anatoliadelphys.
