DIAGNOSIS. — “Differs from Pseudocricetodon by its greater size, the clearly bunodont teeth, the crests generally simple, the strongly reduced posterior lobe of lower M/3, and the convex labial edge of upper M1/. Anterocone of M1/ generally simple, occasionally tending to split somewhat. Posterior arm of the hypoconid more or less developed, occasionally lacking. Anteroconid always simple” (Vianey-Liaud 1972: 4). REMARK Beyond the successive discussions about the definition of the genus Eucricetodon (e.g., Comte 1985 ; Dienemann 1987; Freudenthal 1996 ; Hugueney 1999 ; de Bruijn et al. 2003 ; Kalthoff 2006 ; Gomes Rodrigues et al. 2013 ), it appears that the genus is probably polyphyletic, including various lineages.
