Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| N. Symeonidis et al. 2006 | We regard the absence of a nasal septum and the presence of permanent anterior dentition (even vestigial incisors) in Dihoplus as sufficient diagnostic characters at generic level (Giaourtsakis, 2003; Giaourtsakis et al., 2006). |
