Deperetellidae – Taxon details on Fossilworks.
Deperetellidae is an extinct family of herbivorous odd-toed ungulates containing the genera Bahinolophus, Deperetella, Irenolophus,[1] and Teleolophus. Their closest living relatives are tapirs.[2] Deperetellids are known from the Middle Eocene deposits of China, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Myanmar.[3]
Most deperetellids are known by fragmentary jaws and skull elements.[3] Members of Deperetellidae are medium to large-sized animals distinguished from other tapiroids by their high crowned and very bilophodont molars.[4][3]
