Description
Original diagnosis after Ginter, 2008 [966]: Teeth with multicuspid crowns based on the phoebodont pattern, but with more numerous intermediate cusplets (three to seven on each side) than in typical phoebodonts. All the cusps very delicate, smooth, and rounded in cross section, as in Phoebodus fastigatus. The main cusps and the larger intermediate cusplets slightly sigmoidal, with a vague lateral carina. The base trapezoidal with rounded angles, short labio-lingually, similar to that of Ph. latus, but with only faint traces of articulation devices in a form of a weak basolabial shelf and a mesio-distally elongated orolingual hump.
