Diagnosis

R. Cifelli 1983Similar to Anisolambda (in- cluding Josepholeidya), but M3 with very elongate talonid and M3 correspondingly larger than M2. Lower molars lower crowned than Anisolambda, paralophid more open anteriorly and not connected to paraconid; entoconid disconnected from hypoconulid and especially isolated on M3. Upper molar hypoconelessunitedtoprotoconeandwith lowridgeextendingtowardmetaconule.
