| D. R. Prothero et al. 2023 | Same as for genus. [(modified from Honey et al. 1998, p. 445): Narrow elongate rostrum. Teeth in front of P2 are spaced by diastemata. I1-3 are small and leaflike; I3 and I2 are the same size. Very small upper canine. Double rooted P1, and P2-4 very small. Quadrate brachydont upper molars, with bulbous selenodont cusps, and wide prominent styles, ribs, cingula, and intercolumnar tubercles. Inflated auditory bulla. Very slender, elongated mandible. Relatively small p2-4, and the p4 is as long as the p3. The m1 is brachydont with bulbous cusps. Symphysis ends beneath p2.] |
