Cephalogalini
n.tr. differing from the
Amphicynodontidae
by the large lower carnassial relative to the premolars and from the other
Cephalogalini
n. tr. by a less reduced metaconid of m
1 in
contact with the paraconid and closing the central valley of the trigonid. High lower premolars without pacd, p3 as tall as p4 both being higher than the paraconid of m1; m2 relatively short for a
Hemicyoninae
, paraconid present but metaconid more developed than the protoconid.
