Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. Daams and H. de Bruijn 1995 | Skull, mandible and limb-bones as in Eliomys but more robust;
interorbital region wide and anterior portions of frontals greatly expanded. The infraorbital foramen opens anteriorly and the outer wall of the infraorbital canal is very robust with a wide base. The anterior palatine foramina penetrate for some distance the palatal plate of the maxillae which forms the greater portion of the palate. The angle of the mandible is perforatcd. Dental formula 1 1 3 for both upper and lower tooth rows, molariform premolars and molar crowns sub-quadrate in shape with low transverse ridgcs. Upper molars with onc large wide internal and two smaller external roots. In the first and second lower molars the two posterior roots may be confluent for the greater part of, or for their entire length: the last molar has two anterior and one large posterior root. Tibia and fibula joined. |
