Description
Diagnosis after Cicimurri, Ebersole & Bowman, 2026 [36006]: Teeth attaining large size for the genus, reaching just over 9 mm in mesio-distal width. Labial crown foot overhangs the root and bears short longitudinal ridges that may coalesce into a transverse ridge. Lower one-half to two-thirds of mesial cutting edge with weak to very coarse serrations. Distal heel bearing up to nine denticles that decrease in size distally
