Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
O. Fejfar et al. 1998Eomyids with abarrent trends in the dental structure: 1, bilobed p4 and m1-3, a false "bilophodonty" composed by two oval basins; 2, increasingly molariform p4; 3, increasing hypsodonty; 4, tendency toward cylindrodont shape of p4 and m1-3; 5, rapid size increase, resulting in one of the largest members of the family; 6, paleoecology likely differnt from other eomyids; 7, wide paleogeographical distribution, in contrast to the sparse record.
