Nanocuris is an extinct genus of Deltatheridiidae from the Cretaceous of Canada (Saskatchewan) and United States (Wyoming - Lance Formation and Hell Creek Formation[1]).[2] Initially, it was classified in a proper family, Nanocuridae, in the clade Eutheria,[2] but a reanalysis of a new specimen revealed a delthatheroid affinity of the genus.[3]
