Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| P. D. Gingerich et al. 1994 | Most similar to Hoanghonius but differs in having a higher and more inflated M2 crown and in retaining a small paraconid on M2 (minute in the holotype, larger in IVPP 5311); has the twinned entoconid—hypoconulid seen on M2 in Hoanghonius, but these cusps are larger and more separated in Rencunius. |
