T. Tsubamoto et al. 2013 | Small and bunodont artiodactyl. The molar morphology and size are similar to those of Khirtharia (Raoellidae). Differs from Khirtharia and other raoellids in having a stronger postprotocrista and a more mesially located paraconule, in lacking a bilo- phodont structure (lacking the buccolingually oriented endocristae/endocristids [= buccolingual lophs/lophids] on the molars), and in that the centrocrista is not mesi- odistally straight but is rather inverted V-shaped. Differs from other bunodont artiodactyls except for the raoellids in having a more buccally shifted and almost mesiodis- tally oriented cristid obliqua. Further differs from primi- tive suoids, bunodont anthracotheres, and the putative primitive anthracotheriid Pakkokuhyus in having a wider crushing trigon basin and a protocone distinctly larger than the other main cusps (paracone, metacone, and metaconule), and in lacking a clear lingual separation into two (mesial and distal) lobes of the upper molars. Further differs from the entelodontids in having a smaller paraconule and in lacking a hypocone. Further differs from other primitive and small bunodont artiodactyls such as the bunodont dichobunoids, helohyids, cebocho- erids, and choeropotamids in having the combination of the following upper molar characteristics: a small (reduced) paraconule, a wide crushing trigon basin, a metaconule as large as the paracone and metacone, a cen- trocrista that is not mesiodistally straight but rather inverted V-shaped, a mesiodistally oriented postprotoc- rista and premetacristule, no hypocone, and no styles. |
