Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. Croitor 2006 | Deer of medium or very large
size. The proximal portion of the antler beam is cylindrical; the distal portion of the antler is compressed latero-medi- ally and normally ends with a palmation. The antler beam does not form a abrupt curvature in the area of the posterior tine. The subbasal tine is present as a vestigial knob or is completely absent. The basal tine is present and is inserted on the lateral side of the beam. The dorsal tine is missing. The middle tine is well-developed, compressed dorso-ven- trally and may form a small palmation. The posterior tine is normally present in the fully-grown antlers. The crown tines are inserted on the anterior and posterior side of the beam; the posterior tines normally form a palmation of variable size and shape. The lower fourth premolar normally is not molarised, or is occasionally fully molarised. Unlike the subgenera Orthogonoceros and Praemegaceros, the antlers of Nesoleipoceros have no dorsal tine; the beam does not form an abrupt curvature in the area of the posterior tine. P4 generally is more primitive if compared with the deer of the subgenera Orthogonoceros and Praemegaceros. |
