ReferenceDiagnosis
R. M. West and E. G. Atkins 1970M:edium-sized artiodactyl, probably closely related to Diacodexis and Tapochoerus. P4 with two large, sharp cusps, slightly flat- tened labiolingually. Ml and M2 tritubercular; metacone and paracone co-equal in size, conical, sharp and high; paraconule and metaconule well developed, and relatively independent of the major cones; metaconule not hypertrophied; mesostyle present; cingulum interrupted lingually by rugose enamel, and tends to develop small cuspules.
