Description
Diagnose after Hornung, Mulder, Nyhuis & Sachs, 2024 [34360]: Potential autapomorphies are marked by an asterisk (*). Member of Stoilodon with narrow angle (approximately 45°) between the occlusal edge projections. The symphyseal and labial margins of the mandibular tooth plate rostrally converging. Vitrodentine on the oral surface with strong longitudinal and transversal (growth-line) striations, forming a lattice-like ornamentation*.
