Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. Mennecart et al. 2021Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. shinaoensis is bigger than Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. flavimperatoris nov.
sp. but smaller than ?Chiyoumeryx turagicus. The transversely oriented anterior conid in the p4 in Chiyoumeryx
nov. gen. shinaoensis differs from the obliquely oriented one in Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. flavimperatoris nov. sp. In
Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. shinaoensis, the posterolingual conid is vestigial on p4. Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. shinaoensis
has no anterior cingulid, while in Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. flavimperatoris nov. sp. there is a tiny anterior cingulid.
Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. shinaoensis possesses lower crowns than ?Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. turgaicus. Chiyoumeryx
nov. gen. flavimperatoris nov. sp. possesses an ectostylid, which is absent in ?Chiyoumeryx nov. gen. turgaicus.
