Description
Original diagnose after Cappetta & Ward, 1977 p. 196 [369]: The labial surface of the anterior tooth is intlated towards the bottom of the crown and has short strong parallel striae at its base. The anterior lobes of the root are rounded and outwardly divergent. The root markedly protrudes over the base of the crown in oral view. Extreme lateral teeth have a partially closed root groove.
