Description
Original diagnose after BOGAN, AGNOLIN, OTERO, EGLI, SUÁREZ, SOTO-ACUÑA & NOVAS, 2017 [25341]: Species of the genus Echinorhinus with very large teeth (maximum length of 1.5 cm), showing the following unique combination of characters: anterolateral teeth with main cusp that does not overhang or barely reaches the level of the distal rear of the tooth root; deeply crenulated mesial cutting edge; distal heel tall and convex; total absence of additional cusplets; and, root with a subvertically oriented nutritious groove in lingual view.
