Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. M. Schlaikjer 1935Orbit incompletely closed. Tympanic bullae relatively small. Molars brachyodont, relatively small and without mesostyles, except a faint indication of one on M3. Postcranial skeleton, as indicated by the pelvis, probably proportionately small and of light construction.
D. R. Prothero 1996Stenomyline camels with highly reduced premolars and elongate rostra. Differs from Pseudolabis in these two features and in the lack of a pseudolabine flexure on P4 lingual selene. Differs from the Stenomylini in having lower-crowned teeth; P l / l - C l / 1 diastemata still present; and no diastemata between P2/2 and P3/3. Differs from all other camels in having high-crowned teeth with very weak or no mesostyles, and dorsal premaxilla extended posterior to the level of PL Size quite variable. P2-M3 length ranges from 65 to 84 mm.
