Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. J. Shockey 2005 | Brachydont to mesodont Toxodontia with reduced canines. Canines incisiform or absent. Tendency for enlargement of an upper inci- sor to caniniform or tusk-like form. Molar protolophs much greater length than metaloph. Anteroposteriorly oriented median valley containing simple cristae, form- ing small fossettes in some species. Lingual wall of molar ectolophs with longitudinal grooves, obscured early with wear. Third lower incisor enlarged or caniniform. Broad, robust entolophid of molars containing early- formed fossettid that is not the result of a union of entolophid and hypolophid. Hypolophid of m1-2 less than half the total length of the talonid (diagnosis modified after Chaffee 1952). |
