Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Freudenthal et al. 1998Cricetinae of small to medium size. The anterolophulid of m1 is dominantly labial. Labial spur on the anterolophule of M1 frequently well-developed. There is a tendency to maintain the mesoloph(id)s, and the anterosinusid of m2.The third molars are not very much reduced, and may be elongated.
