Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. Bachmayer and R. W. Wilson 1970 | Mesostyles slightly more developed than in Galerix exilis? p2 with single alveolus. Posterior cingula of m1 and m2 continuous to the tips of the entoconids | |
| C. G. Rümke 1976 (Galerix atticus) | A medium-sized Galerix species (length of m1 is ca 2.80 mm). The p2 is two rooted, the paraconid of the p4 is separated from the protoconid-metaconid crest. Lower molars with a narrow trigonid, m1 and m2 with large entosytlid, connected with a strong posterior cingulum; posterior arm of the hypoconid ending at the base of - but sharply separated from - the entoconid. Lingual cusps of M2 (and M1?)forming a high, sharp ridge that is clearly separated from the metaconule. |
