|---|---|---|
| G. E. Konidaris et al. 2016 | Small choerolophodont species; elongated cranium with moderately inclined facial region and low cerebral region; orbits situated at the top of the cranium and just behind the last functional teeth; anterior zygomatic process situated anterior of the choanae at the level of the last molar; moderate redressed perinasal area; distant temporal lines and wide parietal region; in juvenile specimens the mandibular symphysis is situated ventrally horizontal, whereas in adult ones it is deflected downwards; corpus and ramus form obtuse angle; retromolar gap is present in mandibles bearing the m3; upper tusks emerge sub-horizontally and outwards and then curve upwards; deciduous teeth are small; in DP3 moderate development of the distal cingulum, which is connected to the second loph; metacone connected to the posttrite conelet of the distal cingulum; in dp3 weak development of the distal cingulum, which is connected to the second lophid; m3 with four or five lophids; the tetralophodont m3s with distal cingulum connected to the fourth lophid or with an isolated distal ‘heel’; M3 with four lophs; moderate to well-expressed choerodonty, ptychodonty and cementodonty. |
