Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. M. Schoch and S. G. Lucas 1985 | Uintatheriamorphs in which P1/1 are extremely small or absent; P2/2 are submolariform; P3-4/3-4 molariform; metastylids present on P/2 - M/3; P/3 - M/3 metalophids oriented obliquely and inclined posteriorly; P/3 - M/3 with !arge, anteriorly set and isolated hypoco nids and hypoconid crests; entoconid crests and hypoconulid crests present on lower molars (lost in derived dinaceratans); inframandibular flange pre sent in most males (Node 5). |
