Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| G. Metais et al. 2023 | Differs from Eosimias, Phenacopithecus and Bahinia in having m2 with protoconid and metaconid more closely spaced and of similar height and volume, paraconid more cuspidate and more nearly connate with metaconid, stronger mesiobuccal cingulid, and entoconid without strong connection to hypoconulid via the postcristid. Differs from Phileosimias in having m2 with paraconid fully lingual in position and hypoconulid distobuccal in position, being located closer to the hypoconid than the entoconid. |
