Diagnosis

|---|---|---|
| K. Luchterhand et al. 1986 | Compared with Mohanamico, Argentine Santacrucian Homunculus (MACN 5757, 10403, 5969) has larger molars, P3 and Ml trigonids open lingually, relatively small premolars compared to molars, Ml trigonids more elevated above talonids, and M 1-M2 oblique cristids directed more lingually. Mohanamico's contemporary Neosaimiri has slightly larger molars, a more low-crowned; lateral incisor, and a strong MI-M2 buccal cingulum which is absent in Mohanamico. In Mohanamico,
a pronounced crest runs lingually from the canine protoconid and P2 projects well above the other premolars. Neosaimiri lacks this canine crest and has a less 'projecting P2. Mohanamico more closely resembles Cebupithecia but the latter has a jaw deepening posteriorly (which Mohanamico does not), larger molars, proportionally smaller premolars compared to molars, more robust canines, and a narrower P4 without the prominent entoconid seen in Mohanamico. |
