Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
P. Mein et al. 1993 | Muridae with lengthened and slender molars, without longitudinal connections between the tubercles, and slightly larger than those of the extant Mus musculus. M1 with an almost elliptical outline, with the t1 in an anterior position (not placed backwards) and without t1bis. t4 united to t5 by a high connection, and with a tendency to fuse with t8 by a low crest, that never forms a t7. Upper molars with t6 and t9 generally separated. m1 with a reduced or absent tma; the anteroconid-metaconid connection is generally absent, except in very much worn specimens. Upper molars with one single lingual root. m1 with two main roots and a small central one. |
