| M. Cherin 2017 | Lutrinae with broad P2 and P3, short and narrow M1 with no hypoconulid, ridge-shaped hypoconid for- ming the outer border of the rather flat talonid, inner cingulum only present at the mesial basis of the paraconid. P4 with mesiodistally enlarged talon, whose distal margin does not reach the distal margin of the metacone in occlusal view; characteristic distal convexity along the distal margin of the talon, about half length. Bean-shaped M1, with paracone much larger than the metacone and well-developed, crest-like protocone and hypocone. Humerus with marked dorsoven- tral curvature of the shaft, supracondylar crest expanded laterally, lar- ge deltoid tuberosity, strong lateral curvature of the deltoid ridge and particularly broad distal epiphysis. Curved radius with small caput and robust distal part. Laterally compressed ulna with curved olecra- non. Femur short and robust with strongly developed trochanters. |
