Unverified paragraph

I have removed the following paragraph from the article because all four sources cited failed verification:

However, recent cladistic studies find the taxon distantly related to the Dioplotherium type species, and specimens from Brazil attributed to allisoni appear to be a distinct species instead.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
