Abstract New cranial and dental material from the early Hemingfordian of Florida and Nebraska permits recognition that Tephrocyon scitulus Hay, 1924, a poorly established taxon from the Texas Gulf Coast, belongs to the genus Osbornodon (Hesperocyoninae, Canidae). O. scitulus is a transitional species that partially fills a large morphological and stratigraphical gap within the Osbornodon clade. Compared to O. renjiei and O. sesnoni, O. scitulus possesses derived characters such as large frontal sinus, high sagittal crest, narrow infraorbital canal, short bulla, and broad premolars. O. scitulus differs from O. wangi in larger size and relatively wider P3 and shorter P4. On the other hand, O. scitulus is distinguishable from O. iamonensis and later species in its primitive characters such as rostrum not elongated, paroccipital process not expanded posteriorly, mastoid process not reduced, and p4 not differentially enlarged relative to p3.
