Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| I. HoráČek, et al. 2006 | A derived member of Phylisidae Sigé, 1985, sharing the characters of M1 and M2 architecture with Philisissphingis Sigé, 1985, particularly the heavily build protoconide complex, high lingual crown wall and shalow protofossid of the respective teeth. It differs from Philisis by a reduced premolar row consisting of P2 and P4 only. It is further characterized by three small incisors, large canine, robust and broadly oval symphysis not extended behind a level of P2, and indistinct angulus mandibulae. It resembles Scotophilus in the latter characters but differs from it by a lesser degree of reduction and specific rearrangement of talonids, diagnostic for the extant genus (Miller 1907, Koopman 1994). From eptesicoid genera Eptesicus, Hesperoptenus or Scotomanes which share the corresponding degree of reduction of unicuspid row, it differs mainly in the molar characters shared with Philisis, in shape of symphyseal region, more advanced degree of compresion of incisor row, and smaller angle of angulus mandibulae. |
