Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. M. Davis 2012 | Differ from stem zatherians and dryolestoids in distal placement of mandibular foramen, presence of a separate hypoconulid on the m2 (variably present on other molars) and in lingual position of metacone with development of wear facet 4 (sensu Crompton 1971) on upper molars; differ from groups other than paurodontids in parallel dorsal and ventral margins of dentary; differ from all taxa (with the possible exception of Ornithorhynchus) in the presence of a very large masseteric foramen that joins the mandibular canal distal to or below the molar series (see Discussion). |
