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). |
