3/3, c. 1/1, pm. 4/4, m. 3 or 4/4; molars are thus in excess of any other living 
heterodont mammal, and have the general characters as in Canis, with very 
pointed cusps; lower carnassial shows little of its typical characters, having 5 
cusps on the surface; these cusps can, however, be identified as the inner cusp, 
the 2 greatly reduced and obhquely placed lobes of the blade, and the 2 cusps 
on the talon. Skull generally resembles that of the smaller Foxes, par- 
ticularly the Fennecs; auditory bullae are very large; hinder edge of mandible 
of very peculiar form, owing to great development of an expanded, com- 
pressed, and somewhat inverted subangular process; ears very large. Verte- 
brae: C. 7, D. 13, L. 7, S. 3, Cd. 22. Limbs rather long. Toes 5 on front 
feet, 4 on hind feet. S. Africa.
