The St. Michel nesophontes (Nesophontes paramicrus) is an extinct speciesofmammal in the family Nesophontidae.^[2] It was endemictoHispaniola (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic).

Taxonomy[edit]

Aphylogenetic 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]

History[edit]

The type specimen was collected in Cueva de Bosque Humido, Los Haitises National Park, Hato Mayor Province, Dominican Republic.
