The New York Times has an interesting commentary about the hype associated with 
this release at 
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/19/business/media/19fossil.html?hp . 

The press release I saw was rather hyped, presumably because it's about to be 
the subject of a documentary called "The Link". As in missing.  The paper is in 
PLOS ONE at 
<http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0005723#s5>
with some impressive photos. There is a cladogram, but it's buried in the 
supplementary material. It includes three genera.
