Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. K. Gillespie et al. 2014 | This revision relates only to features of the dentition. Wakaleo vanderleueri differs from W. oldfieldi in having: P3 larger absolutely and relative to M1; M3 oval in outline, bearing a small longitudinal ridge and lacking a crenulated talonid basin; M1‒2 with much taller buccal margin relative to the lingual margin such that the paracone and metacone are distinctly taller than the protocone; and M3 with anterior cingulum. |
