New article for Kelloggia?

edit

In their new paper describing two derived platanistoids (Platanidelphidi) from the Chilcatay Formation, Ensidelphis and Furcadelphis, Bianucci et al. (2020) use the combination Kelloggia barbarus for the squalodontid originally named Squalodon barbarus by Mchedlidze and Aslanova (1968), hinting that Kelloggia could be a distinct genus from Squalodon proper (it's no surprise that Squalodon is in need of revision because some nominal species are based on jaw bones or teeth). Maybe someone could create a new article for Kelloggia.
