Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. J. Shockey 2005Considerably smaller than Anayatherium fortis, Leontinia gaudryi, and Scarrrittia canquelensis. Similar size to Ancylocoelus frequens, but distinct from Ancylocoelus frequens by the presence of grooved protocones of P3-P4, and the lack of well-defined and persistent crista that gives the branched appearance to the major fossette of the upper molars of A. frequens.
