Description
Original diagnosis after Kriwet, Nunn & Klug, 2009 [3290]: A species of Cantioscyllium characterized the following dental features. Anterior teeth with pointed but rounded central cusp; central cusp slightly smaller than height of crown shoulder; mesial cusplet completely reduced to lateral rounded heel-like structure; distal cusplet slender and small with incipient apex. Antero-lateral teeth with cusps higher than crown shoulder; mesial lateral cusplet very small with rounded apex; distal cusplet well developed; labial apron broad and not extending to basal face of the root in profile view; labial edge of apron concave; lower part of labial crown face with few short and flexuous folds not reaching the apex of the cusp; lingual crown face devoid of any ornamentation.
