Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. de Bruijn et al. 2003 | E. kempeni teeth are about 20% smaller than those of E. sinani and there is no overlap between the size ranges of the two species. The sinus of the upper molars is less deep in kempeni than in sinani and the protoloph of the M3 is transverse in E. kempeni, but forwards directed in E. sinani. The general dental pattern of the upper cheek teeth is similar in the two species, but the ones of kempeni are deviating less from the basic cricetid type than those of sinani. |
