Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L.J. Flynn et al. 1986Hystricomorphous and sciurognathous rodents primitively with dental formula 1023/1013; premolars large, submolariform to molariform, with P4 retaining four or five major cusps (paracone, metacone, protocone, metaconule, usually hypocone); hypocone lingually placed and apparently developed from posterolingual cingulum shelf on P4 MI-2 and small on M3; metaconule inflated as a major cusp or else modified (incorporated in a loph or lost); P4 oval in outline, length over 20 percent greater than width; lower molars with low anterior cingulum; hypoconulid always well developed on P4 M1 2; metalophulid II present; incisor enamel pauciserial in early forms, multiserial with thin lamellae (3 to 5 prisms wide) in later forms.
