Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. Daams and H. de Bruijn 1995 | Very closely related to Eliomys; upper cheek teeth less concave; the main cusps arranged as in Eliomys; five main transverse ridges in upper teeth, the main central depression with quite a well-marked ridge, this vestigal in Eliomys; premolar more reduced, not strongly cuspidate. Lower molars with four main ridges, and three rudimentary ones between them. Premolar reduced and simple. (from Ellerman (1941), dental characteristics only.) |
