Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| I. A. Dubrovo and A. E. Sanders 2000 | medium-sized odontocete with a relatively
narrow supraoccipital in comparison with the distance between the outer margins of the zygomatic processes of the squamosals, a relatively broad squamosal fossa, and 11 postcanine (buccal) teeth. Width of skull at base of rostrum approximately 83% of width at antorbital processes of frontals. |
