Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. S. Stevens 1977 | The characteristics of the genus are those of its type species, A. wilsoni (Dalquest and Mooser), a floridatragulid that differs from Florida- tragulus White in its slightly shorter mandibular diastemas, the lack of a diastema between P2 and P3, and smaller size. | |
| D. R. Prothero et al. 2023 | (modified from Rincon et al. 2012, p. 459): “Differs from other known floridatragulines in lacking a diastema between p2 and p3, having a shorter diastema between p1 and p2 that is similar or shorter than the combined length of m1– m2, slightly to strongly inflected bulbous paraconids on lower premolars, and having basal conical intercolumnar pillars on m1, m2, and variably developed on m3. Differs from Floridatragulus nanus Patton 1969, in having m3 hypoconulid divided in two unequal selenes with additional cuspules variably present, and lacking a basal posterior cingulid. Differs from Floridatragulus dolichanthereus ( = Floridatragulus barbouri White 1947) in having less lingually inflected paraconids on lower premolars. Differs from Floridatragulus texanus (= Floridatragulus hesperus Patton 1969) in having less reduced lower premolars, more prominent, bulbous, and lingually inflected paraconids on lower premolars, lacking labial cingular segments between protoconid and hypoconid on molars, and having a less developed posterolingual ridge on p3.” |
