Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. E. White 1940 | Medium-sized camels (Ml-3 length = 37-41 mm) with brachydont teeth, reduced premolars, and large skulls relative to their tooth size. Otherwise, skull and skeletal proportions remain primitive. Distinguished from Poebrotherium by larger size and reduced premolars. Distinguished from Paralabis by its smaller size, and slightly reduced premolars. Distinguished from other Whitneyan-Arikareean camels by its brachydont teeth, which are relatively small for their skull size. | |
| D. R. Prothero 1996 | Medium-sized camels (M1-3 length = 37-41 mm) with brachydont teeth, reduced premolars, and large skulls relative to their tooth size. Otherwise, skull and skeletal proportions remain primitive. Distinguished from Poebrotherium by larger size and reduced premolars. Distinguished from Paralabis by its smaller size, and slightly reduced premolars.
