Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. M. Davis 2012Differs from other peramurids in smaller size, having a relatively very small increase in size between p3 and p4 and an obtuse trigonid angle on m1 (approximately 110 degrees); differs from Peramus in somewhat weaker development of cusps e and f on m2 and m3; differs from Kouriogenys gen. nov. in having a two-rooted p1, p4 equal to p5 in mesiodistal length and m3 mesiodistally much shorter than m2; differs from Tendagurutherium in absence of subcondylar fossa and absence of evidence for the coronoid bone.
