Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. Kormos 1932Das Gebiß ist im allgemeinen nach dem Grundplan von Arvicola, Phaiomys und den evoluierten Mimomys-Arten gebaut. Die Zähne met sehr dünnen Schmelz, welcher viel schmächtiger ist als bei Arvicola und in bezug auf seine Dicke zwischen jenem von Phaiomys und Lagurus steht; in den Zahneinbuchtungen mit reichlicher Zementablagerung. Antiklinalen merh zugespitzt als bei Arvicola und kürzer als bei Phaiomys. Gebiß Lagurus-artig methr auseinandergezogen wie bei Phaiomys und Arvicola. Der dritte obere Backenzahn weniger, m3 (in seiner Breite) mehr reduziert.
