Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. D. Archibald and A. Averianov 2012Differs from Eomaia, Prokennalestes, Murtoilestes, and Bobolestes by anteroposterior compression of trigonid; entoconid subequal to or
larger than hypoconid or hypoconulid; labial postcingulid present. Differs from Eomaia, Prokennalestes, and Bobolestes by ‘coronoid’ facet absent; i4 greatly reduced; hypoconulid on m1-2 about twice as close to entoconid than to hypoconid. Differs from Eomaia and
Prokennalestes by mandibular symphysis posterior margin reaching p3 or more posteriorly; posteriormost mental foramen below p5 or more posterior; p3 shorter than p2. Differs from Prokennalestes and
Bobolestes by lower canine enlargement. Differs from Eomaia by p1-p2 diastema absent. Differs from Prokennalestes by lower canine single-rooted. Differs from Bobolestes by oblique protocristid; cristid obliqua lingual to protocristid notch. Differs from the clade
Zhelestidae + Paranyctoides by trigonid height twice or more the height of talonid; oblique protocristid; talonid narrower than trigonid; cristid oblique lingual to protocristid notch.
