Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. Storch 1995Middle-sized Paranourosorex species. p4 with distinct posterolingual basin and two-cusped apex; the tooth is rather inflated. m3 with well-developed talonid basin, hypoconid, and entoconid; markedly larger than in P. gigas. Entoconid and hypolophid of m1 separated by a groove; the lingual extremity of the hypolophid of m1-2 reaches only the level of the labial face of the entoconid. Entocristid and posterior face of the metaconid f m1-2 separated by a notch. Lower incisor moderately upturned apically, with cutting edge distinctly longer than posterior part of crown. Hypoconal flange on P4 smaller than in gigas. Hypcond of M1-2 inflated and conical. The lower articular facet on the condyle is continuous with the internal face of the mandible and situated far anteriorly. The limula and interal temporal foaas above the limula are at most faintly indicated on the coronoid process.

Zazhigin 1996Middle-sized species. p4 with distinct posterolingual basin and two-cusped apex; the tooth is rather inflated. m3 with well developed talonid basin, hypoconid and entoconid; markedly larger than in gigas. Entoconid and hypolophid of m1 separated by a groove; the lingual extremity of the hypolophid of m1-2 reaches only the level of the labial face of the entoconid. Entocristid and posterior face of the metaconid on m1-3 separated by a notch. Lower incisor moderately upturned apically, with cutting edge distinctly longer than posterior part of crown. Hypoconal flange on P4 smaller than in gigas. Hypocone on M1-2 inflated and conical. The lower articular facet on the condyle is continuous with the internal face of the mandible and situated far anteriorly. The limula and internal temporal fossa above the limula are at most faintly indicated on the coronoid process.
