Apparently there is a new early mammal from Mongolia that has been described in Russian. The name is given in Russian as "Khovur-lestes" Lopatin & Averianov, 2018, but I don't have the official Latin form yet (in Russian)

The illustration shows "Khovur-lestes" on the right, with larger fangs, preying on a lizard, facing off with Prokennalestes (recently redescribed by the same authors)






The ref in Russian is here, but there is no content at the link for now. I'll see what I can turn up.
