It is broad in its coverage- yes, this article likely summarizes everything known about this relatively obscure taxon.
It is illustrated; all images are tagged with their respective licenses.
Everything is cited to reliable sources, which are formatted correctly and linked where possible. There's a bunch of Biodiversity Library links for the older ones, which is nice.
Now for the hard part, actually reading the article:
Lede
I made some changes but the prose overall still feels a bit clunky. But the lede overall is of a good length and hits the high points of the article.
(More to come...)
Continuance:
Bold the Xiphodon mention in the cladogram
Link tympanic bullae in Description.
The upper ear canal's morphology in Xiphodon is recorded also in the Palaeogene camelid Poebrotherium. Why is the relevant? Do you mean they have the same or similar morphology there?
While I'd recommend giving it a close copyedit for clarity and sentence length overall, everything is understandable if you pay enough attention so I have no issues with the prose.
