) with paired orbital horn cores in some species, and three premolars and three molars in both upper and lower jaw. Upper canines are lacking. Cheek teeth are brachyodont or mesodont, have rugose or smooth enamel and lack the
-fold in lower molars. The paraconid in lower premolars is absent or rudimentary, sometimes present only in unworn premolars. The lower molars have triangular labial conids, either widely or closely spaced, welldeveloped metastylids, smooth or rugose enamel and may have an anterior cingulum. The bilophed posterior lobe of lower m3 is distally open in unworn molars. An anterior cingulum can be present. The mandible is slender or pachyostotic with a slightly or more markedly sinuous horizontal ramus and a convex ventral profile. The astragal is compact and has a slightly asymmetrically placed median gorge, an internal condyl that is smaller than the external condyl and a parellel-sided trochlea. The metatarsal has a distally closed dorsal longitudinal gully and is fused with cubonavicocuboid.
