If no rank is listed, the taxon is considered an unranked clade in modern classifications. Ranks may be repeated or presented in the wrong order because authors working on different parts of the classification may disagree about how to rank taxa.
Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Chow and T. H. V. Rich 1984 | Distinguished from all other described triconodontans by the presence of at least six lower molars, midline symphysis extending further posteriorly (below point of contact between M2 and M3), and most posterior lower premolar markedly larger than M2. Distinguished from the lower molar of Hallautherium schlachi Clemens, 1980, by absence of a cusp immediately labial to cusp b and a continuous lingual cingulum rather than one restricted to the margin of the tooth opposite cusps c and d. Distinguished from Morganucodon, Megazostrodon, and Erythrotherium by lack ofprominent lingual cusps, and presence of labial cingula. |
