Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| P. Mein and M. Freudenthal 1971 | Taille- très petite à très grande.
Crâne- le bord postérieur du foramen incisif se trouve au même niveau que le bord antérieur des M1, ou plus en arrière. La surface de la branche inférieure de l'arcade jugale est moins verticale que chez les Cricetidae, la foramen infraorbitaire est plus large. Mandibule-L'inclination latérale de la mandibule par rapport à la rangée dentaire est toujours moindre que chez les Cricetinae. Humérus- Contraire aux Cricetinae la foramen entiépicondylien manque; ce foramen est présent seulement dans le genre Fahlbuschia: l'attribution de ce genre aux Cricetidontinae n'est pas certaine. |
