P. M. Velazco and M. J. Novacek 2016 | Teeth (badly worn) less transverse than in Prodiacodon or Myrmecoboides. Single sagittal crest unlike Leptictis but like Palaeictops altimontis and P. bicuspis ( gs. 2A, 13A, 16A; Novacek, 1986: g. 2). Signi cantly larger than all other North American leptictid species (see table 1; cf. Novacek, 1977: table 2). |
