Bathyopsis

Crania Bathyopsis is intermediate, morphologically, from the basal Prodinoceras and Probathyopsis (part of the family Prodinoceratidae) and the later dinocerate genera Tetheopsis and Eobasileus. Bathyopsis possesses small cranial horns, one pair being on the maxilla, another pair on the frontal, and a pair on the parietal. The genus lacks any upper incisors, but has greatly enlarged canines. The mandible bears a large flange, much like other uintatheriines. The skull has been described as dolichocephalic. == Classification ==

Historically, Bathyopsis had also been assigned to the Pantodonta, though this is not supported. There is an indeterminate species of Bathyopsis known from a singular premolar, which resembles Probathyopsis in shape. Phylogeny in accordance with Scott et al. (1998): == References ==
