Description
Original diagnosis after Kirkland, Eaton & Brinkman, 2013 [20268]: Columbusia deblieuxi (Fig. 9.19) differs from the type species C. fragilis in bearing a single distinct bladelike lateral cusp on either side of the main cusp that tends to overlap the root laterally, and in the distinct crest formed on the lingual side of the central cusp. C. roessingi differs in commonly possessing multiple lateral cusps on the lateral carinae.
