Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. F. Flannery et al. 1982 | Balbarines differ from all potoroids except bulungamayines by having lophodont molars. They differ from bulungamayines by lacking a strongly convex ventral margin of the dentary, and by having a smaller opening to the masseteric canal, the M2trigonid markedly lower than the talonid, and the M2 protolophid markedly compressed. They can be distinguished from all known macropodids by the M2 characteristics mentioned above , and by a small cuspid, possiblY a rudimentary paraconid, on the lingual side of the anterior cingulum of the lower molars. |
