Species
Eobaatar hispanicus
This species was named by Hahn G. and Hahn R. in 1992. Remains consisting of a single tooth were found in Hauterivian - Barremian (Lower Cretaceous)-age strata of Galve, Spain.
Eobaatar magnus
This species was named by Kielan-Jaworowska Z., Dashzeveg D. and Trofimov B.A. in 1987. It is based on a fragment of lower jaw with teeth found in Aptian or Albian (Lower Cretaceous) strata of the Höövör beds in Guchin Us County, Mongolia, and had a cranial length of about 3 cm.
Eobaatar minor
This species was also named by Kielan-Jaworowska Z., Dashzeveg D. and Trofimov B.A. in 1987. Remains were found in Lower Cretaceous strata of Mongolia. Going by the species name, it was probably relatively small; his skull was 2 cm in length indeed.
