Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. Angelone et al. 2018Small-sized leporid with the following features: simple P2 without or with incipient hypoflexus (prevailing LL- morphotype I) and very shallow mesoflexus (prevailing BMR- morphotype A); significantly elongated p3 with exclusively of A1/PR3 morphotype, p3 hypoflexid short (within A1/PR3; ~70–90% of W) with feeble or missing anterior tip and gradual transition from thick to thin enamel in its lingual end, p3 anteroconid morphologically variable with anteroflexid of variable depth (~5–20% of total L); I1/i1 markedly flattened anteroposteriorly; anterior and anterobuccal walls of p3-m2 talonids smooth; p4-m2 trigonid without anteroexternal reentrant; mandibular body and ramus robust, diastema relatively short, of almost the same length as the alveolar row of p3-m3; root end of lower incisor reaching the posterior part of p3; P3-M2 hypoflexus quite short (~70% of W), generally smooth.
