Differential diagnosis: Dental characters – upper male canine smaller than that of European Listriodontinae , backwardly orientated as in Eurolistriodon but in contrast to other European listriodonts which exhibit upwardly directed canines in males, sharp postanticline as in Lis. lockharti and Listriodon splendens but contrasting with Eurolistriodon in which the postanticline is rounded; Craniomandibular characters – general aspect of the cranium shallow in comparison to lophodont listriodonts; orbit located in an anterior position: anterior border located at the level of M2–M3, whereas it is located at the level of the rear of the M 3 in other known representatives of the Listriodontini ( Eurolistriodon , Lis. splendens , Listriodon pentapotamiae ); zygomatic arch particularly robust in its anterior portion, being wider and lower than that of Lis. splendens ; presence of a lateral protuberance as in kubanochoeres; glenoid surface lying in a low position compared to Eurolistriodon and other European listriodonts, close to the occlusal plane; post-tympanic process well developed as in Lis. splendens , absence of postglenoid process contrasting with Eurolistriodon .

Holotype: MNHN 1933-9 , a portion of cranium comprising the palate from P4 to M3 and anterior portion of zygomatic arches.

Type locality: Moruorot, Losodok Formation ( Kenya) = Muruarot ( Madden, 1972).

Other localities: Kalodirr ( Kenya), Fategad (Cutch, India).
