ReferenceDiagnosis
S. Quan and Y. Wang 2024Medium to large sized pantodont. Mandible thick and robust, with a conspicuous anteroexternal flange; coronoid process of moderate height; condyloid process positioned higher than the cheek teeth row, flat but not significantly elongated laterally in
shape; the posteriormost part of the angular process approximately in the same plane as the
condyloid process. Lower canine moderately enlarged; p1–p2 double-rooted, crowns neither
sectorial nor elongated anteroposteriorly; width of the talonids of the lower molars nearly equal
to that of the trigonids; paraconids of the lower molars distinct; metaconids of lower molars
taller than protoconids; hypoconulid of m3 rather developed and bulging posteriorly; entoconid
of m3 distinct
