| R. Weppe et al. 2020 | Genus of Cainotherioidea, similar in
size to Oxacron (400-600g). Upper molar with a centrolingual protocone without crest; parastyle similar to other styles; looped and distally inclined mesostyle; distostyle and mediostyle isolated and large; short and continuous premetacristula; long postparacristula; mesial cingulum pronounced. P/4 with a talonid basin buccolingually compressed and a paraconid weakly lingually inclined. Lower molars with a small paraconid; strong lingual posi- tion of the protoconid; short mediocristid; talonid basin large with entoconid slightly more distal than hypoconid; large individualized metaconulid close to the metaconid; neotrigonid present; hypoconid absent on M/1 and M/2; large basin-shaped hypo- conulid with a long and weakly marked posthypoc- ristulid, and distal to the entoconid on M/3. Mandible with short diastema between P/2 and P/ 3; horizontal ramus gracile, relatively shallow and height is rather constant between the premolar area and the last molar; strong incisura vasorum. |
