Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
N. Kusuhashi et al. 2010Moderate-sized eobaatarid multituberculate with lower jaw dental formula 1.0.3.2; lower incisor slender, completely covered with enamel; p2 single-rooted, peg-like; p3 double-rooted, crown shape triangular in lateral view; p4 having eight serrations; m1 cusp formula 2:2; m2 cusp formula 1 (coalesced):2. Differing from other ‘plagiaulacidans’ except for eobaatarids in having three lower premolars rather than four, a peg-like p2, an anteroposteriorly elongated p4 relative to p3, and eight serrations on p4. Differing from Hakusanobaatar, Liaobaatar, and Sinobaatar in having a triangular p3 rather than oval in lateral view. Differing from Eobaatar, Janumys, Liaobaatar, Loxaulax, and Sinobaatar in cusp formula ofm1. Differing from Eobaatar in having a lower incisor completely covered with enamel. Differing from Tedoribaatar in having three lower premolars and a double-rooted p3.
