Description
Original diagnosis after Siverson, Lindgren, Newbrey, Cederström & Cook, 2015 [22014]: Anterior teeth with slender, elongated cusps. Basal view of root triangular in upper and lower anterior teeth. Upper lateroposterior teeth from posterior half of inferred lateroposterior hollow with concave labial profile and broad, strongly distally curved cusp in labial/lingual views. Cusplets relatively upright in lateroposterior teeth but divergent in anterior teeth. Median indentation of basal edge of root small and tightly curved in lateroposterior teeth.
