“
HYRACODONTIDAE
”
Teletaceras radinskyi
Hanson, 1989
is placed as an early-diverging rhinocerotoid and as a sister taxon to the clade including the
Eggysodontidae
, the
Paraceratheriidae
and the
Amynodontidae
. The monophyly of
Eggysodontidae
is supported by five unambiguous synapomorphies: protocone and hypocone on P2 form a lingual bridge
94
(1); the hypocone is anterior to metacone on P3-4
103
(2); M3 ectoloph and metaloph are fused (ectometaloph)
133
(1); navicular cross section is rectangle
268
(1); lower canines are strong
284
(2). The clade has a Bremer index = 2.
Eggysodontidae
are sister group of the clade formed by
Hyracodon nebraskensis
Leidy, 1850
,
Paraceratheriidae
and
Amynodontidae
.
Hyracodon nebraskensis
is a sister taxon to
Paraceratheriidae
and
Amynodontidae
. Three unambiguous synapomorphies support the monophyly of
Paraceratheriidae
: nearly horizontal symphysis
53
(2); M3 ectoloph and metaloph are fused (ectometaloph)
133
(1); atlas axis-facets are transversally concave
187
(2) and it is weakly supported (Bremer index = 1)
.
