ReferenceDiagnosis
S. J. Rahmat and I. Koretsky 2016Dental formula I3/1, C1/1, P4/4, M1/1 (presents diagnostic combination of incisors that differ from Phocinae, Monachinae and Cystophorinae). Middle of internal crest of humeral trochlea at level of coronoid fossa (similar to Phocinae, but different than in Monachinae, where it is arch-like elevated over the coronoid fossa, and Cystophorinae, where it is wave-like raised over the coronoid fossa).
