Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| I. A. Koretsky and S. J. Rahmat 2021 | Small seal with extremely short rostrum (table 1), differing from all other fossil and extant phocines by: 1) flattened palatal process of maxilla; 2) P4 longer than M1; 3) alveoli form a straight line; 4) wider rostrum across canines compared to other small Phocinae (but narrower than in Monachopsis pontica). |
