Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. K. Tate-Jones et al. 2020 | Eodesmus condoni can be distinguished from other desmatophocids by the plesiomorphic presence of a nasiolabialis fossa and by the following apomorphies: wide anterior nares lat- erally bounded by the maxilla rather than the premaxilla; a circular rather than dorsoventrally compressed foramen magnum; and excavated, posteroventrally protruding paroccipital processes (Fig. 3). |
