Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Rabi et al. 2012Member of the Foxemys genus differing from the type species in the absence of an accessory ridge on the triturating surface of the maxilla; a narrower incisura columella auris as a result of a triangular, dorsally projecting ventral process of the quadrate; the parietal contacting the pterygoid through the base of the processus trochlearis pterygoidei as in Bothremys arabicus and Chedighaii hutchisoni; the basioccipital concavity hardly extending onto the basisphenoid as in Polysternon; having a dentary with a considerably wider U-shaped depression on the symphysis and more rounded anterior tip.
