Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
Q. Jiangzuo et al. 2024Diagnosis. Large Ictonychinae; mandible very robustand deep, with deep masseteric fossa; premolars veryrobust, with surrounding cingula; P4 robust, with smallparastyle and expanded inner lobe, distinct protocone,and weak hypocone shelf; M1 enlarged, with distinctmetacone and metaconule, and inner lobe slightlyenlarged; p3 shortened; m1 robust, with stout paraconid.

Differential diagnosis. Differs from Lutravus halli byhaving P4 with parastyle, and M1 with smaller meta-cone, p3 shorter and wider, m1 with more massiveparaconid
