Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
N. Symeonidis et al. 2006 | We regard the absence of a nasal septum and the presence of permanent anterior dentition (even vestigial incisors) in Dihoplus as sufficient diagnostic characters at generic level (Giaourtsakis, 2003; Giaourtsakis et al., 2006). |
