| R. Daams and H. de Bruijn 1995 | Medium to large sized Dryomyinae, the occurrence of which is restricted to Malta and Sicily. The endolophid of the lower molars is almost always interrupted between the metaconid and entoconid. The M1-2 always have two extra ridges outside the trigone and almost invariably have the posteroloph separate from the endoloph. The angular portion of the lower jaw is perforated. |
