Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. A. Reguero and E. Cerdeño 2005 | Hegetotheriinae with nasals especially long and thin, not enlarged posteriorly. Labial groove on upper cheek teeth more medially placed than in Prohegetotherium. I1 en- larged, more oval in cross-section and more obliquely implanted than in Prohegetotherium, Hegetotherium and Hemihegeto- therium. I2-I3-C more reduced than in Prohegetotherium and separated by diastemata, contrary to Prohegetotherium and Hemihegetotherium, which have a closed dental series. P3-M3 with ovoid occlusal outline, different from the more quadrangu- lar section of other hegetotheriines. Mandible with symphysis much narrower than in other hegetotheriines. Lower canine ab- sent, i3 reduced, and a diastema separates i3 and p1. Lower p3 with anterior lobe longer than posterior one, contrary to Prohe- getotherium and Hemihegetotherium. |
