In 2011, a relatively complete mandibular ramus of a tenrecid was found at Elisabethfeld, Sperrgebiet, Namibia. The specimen retains the three molars, four antemolar teeth and the broken alveoli for the two posterior incisors. The anteriormost preserved tooth is bicuspid but has a single root and is interpreted to be a canine. A new genus and species is erected for this tenrecid to accomodate the jaw.
