Description
Original diagnosis after Ginter & Ivanov, 1995 [3132]: The base is short (labio-lingually) and very wide, rectangular to trapezoidal. A laterally elongates button lies close to the lingual rim. The crown is of phoebodont type (i.e. in which the three main cusps are almost equal) and consists of five to seven cusps, including accessory cusplets. The labial face of the cusps is covered with few strong ridges, the lingual face is smooth.
