Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. A. Bosma and H. de Bruijn 1979Cheek teeth with prominent main cusps. Hypocone not well delimited as it is in Eogliravus. Mesolophid low, narrow, and usually not extending to the entoconid. Trigone approximately symmetrical
R. Daams and H. de Bruijn 1995Brachyodont, with two premolars in the maxilla. Upper molars trigonodont with simple and small mesostyl. Borders of trigone without intermediate cusps. Lower molars with four cusps and isolated mesoconid. Mesolophid is not yet developed. Paraconid separated from protoconid, like in Sciurus vulgaris. (translated from German)
