Material of the first description [3137]: 18 teeth

Description
Original diagnosis after Ginter, 2000 [3137]: The tooth crown is composed of three equal, leader, strongly recurved cusps, covered on both sides with gentle, subparallel cristae. The base is long (labio-lingually), very narrow, subcircular in vertical section close to the crown and flattened or concave in the lingual part; it is twisted, and it long axis is slightly curved in relation to the crown (with exception to few teeth probably of the symphysial row). The opening of the main basal canal is usually situated half-way along the base.
