Description
Original diagnose after Welton (1981) p. 142 [2518]: A species of Oxynotus based upon isolated oral teeth differing from Oxynotus bruniensis, O. caribbaeus, O. centrina, and O. paradoxus by having an apicobasally shorter medial tooth (/M1) with a narrower and higher crown, more lingually convex lateral blades, a labial flange which is broader than in O. paradoxus and narrower and shorter than in O. caribbaeus and O. centrina, a lingual transverse groove shorter than in O. caribbaeus and O. centrina, and differing from O. centrina, O. caribbaeus, and O. paradoxus by possession of a strong median sulcus on the basal edge of the labial flange above the transverse notch.
