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