Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
W. B. Scott 1893 | Size decidedly smaller than that of B. borealis Cope, and ribs of external crescents on upper molars less prominent. | |
D. R. Prothero and M. R. Liter 2008 | Similar to Dromomeryx, but much smaller size (Table
1; Fig. 10); molars more mesodont; premolar row shorter, and Palaeomeryx fold usually lost. Supraorbital horns relatively smaller, with basal flange less pronounced, and limbs relatively longer and more slender than those of Dromomeryx (after Janis and Manning, 1998, p. 483). |
