Description
Original diagnosis WELTON, 1979 (same as for the genus) [2517]: Echinorhinid with well developed dignathic and gradient monognathic heterodonty; disjunct monognathic heterodonty weak with upper and lower antero-laterals and one medial only in the lower antero-laterals and one medial only in the lower dental series; ontogenetic heterodonty indeterminate; mesial cusplets never well developed as Echinorhinus and usually absent; distal cusplets 0 to 1 but almost always absent; cusp of lower antero-laterals narrow based and very erect with strongly concave mesial edge and weakly convex and nearly vertical distal edge; blade short and apically convex in upper antero-laterals and usually meso-distally elongated and low in lowers; median tooth with erect symmetrical cusp situated in center of tooth; central axis of cusp situated over distal half of root in all antero-lateral teeth; transverse ridges and grooves in crown foot absent; lingual crown flexure strong with strongly recurved cusp apex; roots hexanchoid or Echinorhinus-1ike, tabular, rectangular, never bilobate and may become rounded basally on the mesial and distal ends as in Echinorhinus; lingual root face with poorly developed longitudinal protuberance below crown foot; central lingual foramen single, multiple, or absent; transverse groove single, multiple or absent and never continuous from central lingual foramen to basal edge of root.
