It shares with a few non-cimolodontan multituberculates such rare characters of the ultimate upper premolar as elongated crown with length to width ratio of 2.0 and smooth enamel. Baidabatyr, gen. nov., is plesiomorphically similar to Paulchoffatiidae in having a horizontal profile of the ultimate upper premolar in lateral view. It likely represents a late survival of the Jurassic paulchoffatiid radiation of multitituberculates.
