Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. S. Rovinsky et al. 2019 | very small thylacinid; lacking a squamosal epitympanic sinus; tympanic bulla lacks contribution by petrosal part of periotic; M1 preparacrista subparallel to the long axis of the tooth row; M1 and M2–4 metaconids differentially reduced. Distinguished from Nimbacinus dicksoni (Muirhead & Archer, 1990) by: stylar shelf, protocone, and conules reduced; more elongate postmetacristae; posterior cingulid joining hypocristid at base of hypoconid. Further differentiated from other similar-sized thylacinids by: protoconules and metaconules less reduced; entoconids and M2–4 metaconids relatively unreduced; hypocristid transversely oriented; cristid obliqua lacking carnassial notch and anterior termination less lingually shifted than in later occurring thylacinids. |
