Though there is strong anatomical and molecular support for the [[monophyly]] of Tethytheria, the interrelationships between the included taxa remain disputed. The tethytheres are united by several characters, including anteriorly facing [[Orbit (anatomy)|orbits]] and more or less [[bilophodont]] cheek teeth (double transverse ridges on the crowns of the teeth). Proboscidea and Sirenia are linked together based on auditory characters in their [[petrosal bone]]s, but this link may be a [[homoplasy]]. [[Desmostylia]]ns, traditionally considered tethytheres, have been tentatively assigned to [[Odd-toed ungulate|Perissodactyla]], along with the Early Eocene family [[Anthracobunidae]], which was considered a sister group to Tethytheria.<ref name="Rose-242">{{Harvnb|Rose|2006|pp=242–3}}</ref><ref name="Cooper20142">{{Cite journal|last2=Seiffert|first2=E.
