Genus Eucricetodon Thaler, 1969

TYPE SPECIES. — Eucricetodon collatus ( Schaub, 1925) by monotypy.

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.
