Diagnosis

|---|---|---|
| Z. Qiu 2006 | "Heteroeomys differs from Eomys Schlosser, 1884 in the absence of a lingual anteroloph on upper molar and weaker development of the anterolophid on the lower molars; longitudinal crest in the upper cheek teeth situated slightly lingual to the middle of the tooth , located labial to the middle of the tooth in the lower cheek teeth; synclines 1 and 4 very long and narrow in upper cheek teeth.
Heteroeomys differs from Plesieomys gen. nov. in larger size and slightly higher crowned teeth; unequally developed lingual and labial main cusps; longer anteroloph joining protocone directly on upper molar; better developed metaloph on M1/2, and hypolophid on m1/2. Heteroeomys differs from Eomyops Engesser, 1979 and Leptodontomys Shotwell, 1956 in larger dimensions and higher crowned teeth (except E. hebeiseni) ; having longer anteroloph that lacks lingual part on upper molar; deeper 1st and 4th synclines in upper cheek teeth. Heteroeomys differs from Pentabuneomys Engesser, 1990 in the absence of a lingual anteroloph on M1/2 and weaker development of the anterolophid on m1/2; having less rotund upper molars that lack well developed central cusps. Heteroeomys differs from Pseudadjidaumo Lindsay, 1972 in having loph(id)s directed more perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; the absence of lingual anteroloph; and the anteroloph uniting directly with the protocone on upper molar. Heteroeomys differs from Ronquillomys Jacobs, 1977 in having smaller dimensions with longer anterolophids on m1/2; having a deeper 1st syncline on M1/2, a broader 4th syncline on m1/2; longitudinal crest situated more lingually in M1/2, and more labially in m1/2. Heteroeomys differs from Kansasimys Wood ,1936 in smaller dimensions; having deeper synclines; hypolophid directed posteromedially to join the posterolophid on lower molars." |
