Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. Mothé et al. 2016 | a new monospecific genus of Mammutidae from China, known from a single robust and longirostrine mandible, with straight, thin and tuskless symphysis (the symphysis region was broken and lost during collection procedures). The zygodont cheek teeth include a trilophodont m2 and a tetralophodont m3. The m3 lophids are compressed anteroposteriorly and obliquely oriented (i.e., antero-lingual to postero-labial direction); its Prs have crest-like ACr and PCr (Pr1 and Pr2 have crest-like PCr and Pr2, Pr3 and Pr4 have crest-like ACr) and Po1 and Po2 have posterior zygodont crests (ZC). A small and weak posterior cingulum (PC) is present distal to the last Po; formed by six small cusps. |
