The St. Michel nesophontes (Nesophontes paramicrus) is an extinct species of mammal in the family Nesophontidae.
[2] It was endemic to Hispaniola (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic).
A phylogenetic study in 2016, based on DNA extracted and carbon-dated from a specimen about 750 years old, suggests their nearest relatives are the solenodons, although the two groups diverged more than 40 million years ago.
[3] The type specimen was collected in Cueva de Bosque Humido, Los Haitises National Park, Hato Mayor Province, Dominican Republic.
