Description
Original diagnose after Guinot et al. (2013) p. 635 [24889]: Teeth less than 5 mm high, showing a gradient monognathic heterodonty. Erect main cusp lingually directed with fine lingual folds originating at the base of the crown and not reaching the apex; distinct vertical median ridge on labial face of anterior teeth with short basal folds; numerous sharp-edged labial ridges in anterolateral and lateral teeth. All ridges slightly sinuous and rarely bifurcating. Flat labial face of the main cusp separated from the strongly convex lingual face by well-developed cutting edges; depressed basal edge of the labial face; marked lingual neck. Pair of slender, lingually curved and sharp lateral cusplets with ornament similar to that of the main cusp; lateral cusplets originating well below the main cusp and projecting labially in anterior teeth. Root with marked lingual protuberance in anterior and anterolateral teeth; nutritive groove from open to closed. Well-developed root branches.
