ReferenceDiagnosis
M. J. Orliac et al. 2006diagnoSiS. — Hyotherium with complete and continu- ous row of upper and lower cheek teeth; I1 with a distal cusplet; P1 located lingually to the canine alveolus; upper premolars globular in their anterior part; M1 without buccal cingulum.
diFFerentiaL diagnoSiS. — Hyotherium with no first- second premolar diastema on both lower and upper dentition, in contrast to other species of the genus; up- per premolars more globular in their anterior part than in H. soemmeringi and H. shanwangense, P1 located in an anterior position, lingually to the canine, as in H. meisneri; lower premolars more slender than those of H. meisneri and H. major, but more globular than those of H. soemmeringi and H. shanwangense; posterior part of the lower premolars weakly developed, less than in H. soemmeringi and H. shanwangense.
