| †Agnotocastor galushai |
Agnotocastor galushai is an extinct species of beaver. Little is known about this early relative of beavers, but it appears to be the oldest animal which can be referred to the family Castoridae, although the fossil does not reveal any further information on the ancestry of Castoridae (Emry, 1972).
