Further research into the relations of Afrosmilini was published in 2021; along with assigning new material to various species, it described an unusual specimen (FT3366, a p4) from Fort Ternan that could not be assigned to any genus, and suggested the Ginsburgsmilus was also part of Afrosmilini.
This led to further exploration into the ties between Afrosmilini; along with reassigning new data to various species, it described an unusual example (FT3366, a p4) from Fort Ternan that could not be classified under any genus, and suggested that Ginsburgsmilus was also part of the Afrosmilini cluster.
