''Xanclomys'' is a small mammal from the Paleocene of North America. It was a genus within the extinct order Multituberculata within the suborder Cimolodonta and family Neoplagiaulacidae. The genus ''Xanclomys'', named by Rigby J.K. in 1980, is also known as ''Xancolomys''. The identification is based on a single species, ''Xanclomys mcgrewi''. Fossil remains were found in the Torrejonian (Paleocene)-age strata of the Swain Quarry in Wyoming (U.S.). Affinities are uncertain. There's perhaps a second, unnamed species. == References == * Rigby (1980), Swain Quarry of the Fort Union Formation, Middle Paleocene (Torrejonian), Carbon County, Wyoming: geologic setting and mammalian fauna.
