Description
Original diagnose after Mertiniene et al. (1994) p. 139 [1646]: The tooth-is small. The labial side ·of the crown is higher than its width by 2.2 times. The pit between the root branches in the labial face transits into the shallow furrow of the crown. The lingual protuberance of the root is wide (in lingual view). The branches of the root are high, well separated, orientated to the sides more than in other species of the genus and have nearly the same thickness in all their length; the ends of branches are obtuse.
