| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. S. Rovinsky et al. 2019 | small thylacinid; infraorbital foramen wholly enclosed by the maxilla and positioned anterior to M1; preparacrista and centrocrista of M1 subparallel; entoconid absent and hypoconulid enlarged. Further differs from similar-sized thylacinids by: lack of stylar cusps B, D, and extreme reduction of talon and protocone on M1; M1 lacks sulcus for preceding premolar; lack of stylar cusp B and reduced stylar cusp D on M2; M3 metaconid reduced, lack of diastemata between mandibular dentition. |
