Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. A. Bosma and H. de Bruijn 1982 | The cheek teeth of G. minor are small for a Gliravus, and have a concave occlusal surface. The structure of the lower cheek teeth is very similar to that in G. priscus Stehlin and Schaub, 1951. In the upper molars the protocone is lowe, i.e. not higher than the lingual ends of the anteroloph and posteroloph. The anteroloph and/or posteroloph of the M1-2 may be either separated from or connected to the protocone. The M1-2 have one long centroloph. |
