Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. R. Prothero and A. Pollen 2013A peccary from the Macrogenis-Tayassu clade distinguished from all other members of that clade (including Skinnerhyus) by its relatively broad and robust dentary and wide, bulbous cheek teeth. It also lacks a contact between the maxillary and the
suborbital bulla, and the auditory bulla and tympanic process are relatively narrow. The facial crest or zygomatic wing is quite short and blunt, with the anterior edge protruding laterally and perpendicularly from the facial region, and extending anteriorly over the rostral muscle fossa. These features distinguish it from Skinnerhyus, Macrogenis, and other peccaries
