Deperetella

Deperetella is an extinct genus of deperetellid perissodactyls from Middle to Late Eocene of Asia.

[2] The genus was defined in 1925 by W. D. Matthew and Walter W. Granger, who named it after French paleontologist Charles Depéret.

[4][2] Postcranial skeleton of Deperetella shares many similarities with that of Teleolophus, in particular: long and slender limbs, relatively elongated and narrow lunar with a slightly concave medial edge of the radial facet, fibula reduced or fused with the tibia, three functional fingers on the limbs.

[5] The genus Diplolophodon, erected by Zdansky (1930) based on an upper dentition from the Heti Formation, China, was defined by Radinsky (1965) as a junior synonym of Deperetella.

[2] In Reshetov and Tatarinov (1979),[4] Tsubamoto et al. (2000)[2] and later works Diplolophodon is also considered as a synonym of Deperetella.
