Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
H. de Bruijn et al. 1993	The species kasapligili is a medium-sized Cricetodon. The rather narrow anterocone of the M1 is either indistinctly divided into two cusps or simple. The M1 has a single or double protolophule, a short mesoloph and three roots. The posteroloph of the M1 and M2 usually continues beyond the point where the metalophule joins the posteroloph. The m1 has the metalophulid II only. The mesolophid is short or absent.
