Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Hugueney and P. Mein 1968Eomyidae de très petite taille, a couronne relativement haute et surface occlusale plane; m1 et m2 quadriradiculées; P4 et m3 plus courts et simplifées que les autre dents, ce qui écarte cette forme des Pseudotheridomys; cette espèce diffère de Keramidomys pertesunatoi Hartenberger, 1967 et K. carpathicus Schaub et Zapfe, 1953, par le premier synclinal des molaires supérieures non réduit et par la présence constante du mésolophe et du mésolophide.
