ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Daams and H. de Bruijn 1995Small-sized Gliridae with moderately concave occlusal surface and relativcly low ridges, resembling those or the recent genus Dryomys. M1-2 with labial ends of posterior centroloph and metaloph nearly at right angles. M2 with long distance between protoloph and metaloph in the middle of the tooth, as in the recent species Dryomys nitedula (Pallas). m2 distinctly larger than m1. (translated from German)
