Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| G. Metais et al. 2008 | Upper molars shows a basic tribosphenic pattern and subtriangular outline with central protocone, lacking distinct hypocone and mesostyle; paraconule is higher on the tooth crown and more expanded than the metaconule; protocone is prominent with a narrow labial rib; paracone and metacone are acute and show a distinct rib (more accentuated on the paracone) on their labial face; metacone is more lingual than the paracone; labial cingular shelf is particularly well developed in the parastylar area; there are incipient accessory cusps and spurs on the cingular shelves that are well developed mesiolingually and distolingually; the lingual cingulum is thinner. It differs from other diacodexeids in its large size and in a distinct parastyle on upper molars. It differs from North American antiacodon- tines in the lesser development of conules and the transverse elongation of upper molars. It further differs from Wasatch- ian Hexacodus, Bridgerian Homacodon and Microsus, and Uinta “homacodonts” in the lack of hypocone and the equal development of conules on upper molars. J. shanghuan- gensis differs from European eurodexine dichobunoids in lacking true hypocone, the lesser development of conules, and the presence of a strong parastylar shelf labially. |
