Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J.-Y. Crochet 1974Nyctitheriinae (au sens de P. Robinson, 1968) dont la p3 est petite par rapport à p4. Cette dernìère n'a pas achevé sa molarisation. Le talonide des molaires est bas et creusé en bassin. L'hypoconulide est faible, l'entoconide en forme de crête. Le talonide de m3 est allongé. Les molaires supérieures sont de tpe tri-tuberculaire avec un hypocône dégagée du reste de la dent. Formule dentaire: I ?/3, C ?/1, P ?/4, M 3/3
