Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| K. J. Travouillon et al. 2014 | Species of Ganguroo differ from all hypsiprimnodontids and potoroines by having bilophodont molars and m4 is not greatly reduced in size relative to other molars. They differ from all macropodines and sthenurines by having a combination of: a buccally expanded masseteric canal; a sharp ventrally convex dentary margin below m1-2; i1 with enamel confined to the buccal surface and extensive on that surface; ventral and dorsal flanges present on i1; p3 and P3 elongate with fine transcristids and a bulbous base; a small precingulid present anterobuccal to the paracristid; lower molars and dp3 bilophodont. It differs from balbarids in lacking a posterior cingulid on any lower molars and m1 lacks a protostylid (Kear and Cooke, 2001). |
