Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. Solé et al. 2018 | Smallest and sole European Dissacus species recorded in the Paleocene. It differs from the other European species by the presence of large diastemata between the p1, p2, and p3; less retroflexed protoconid on p3 and p4; very shallow distal reentrant grooves on p3, p4, and molars; less developed entoconid on the talonid of p4 and molars; relatively longer m3; more developed cingula on molars; and less mesially located protocone on M2. It also differs from Ypresian D. filholi and D. blayaci in having a relatively sharper protoconid on molars, and from D. rougierae by more developed lingual cingula but less developed labial cingulum on molars |
