Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. J. Shockey and F. Anaya 2008 | Relatively small toxodontid having rooted incisors, no diastema between c and p1, lower premolars without fossettids, molar entolophid transverse with fossetid. Differs from Proadinotherium leptognathum by its smaller size (linear dimension about 80% those of P. leptognathum), the lack of diastema, and presence of enamel on both the external and internal surfaces of the incisors (internal enamel absent in adults of P. leptognathum). |
