Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
L.J. Flynn et al. 1986	Lophodont cheek teeth, moderately high crowned, slightly unilaterally hypsodont, and more lophodont than in chapattimyines; uppers may be secondarily bunodont; permanent premolars molariform and large, with lengths usually approximately 85 percent of molar lengths; P4 with hypocone; dp4 bears multiple oblique lophs; hypocone large, independent of protocone and lingual in position; mesolophule extends anterolabially from metaconule; paraconule absent; metaconule large, often incorporated in mesolophule; metaconule joins hypocone or is isolated from all cusps; hypolophid, from entoconid, intersects mure anterior to hypoconid; metalophulid II usually well developed; mesoconid absent; lower cheek tooth mure central; apices of protocone and hypocone labially placed; incisor enamel multiserial, with bands only 3 to 5 prisms wide.
