Description
Original diagnose after Guinot et al. (2013) p. 661 [24889]: Teeth less than 3mmwide, robust and labiolingually compressed. Cusp elongate, erect in anterior teeth and strongly distally inclined in laterals; cusp as long as width of the crown. Sharp distal heel weakly convex and inclined; no cusplets. Mediolabial edge of crown and root concave. Flat basal root face, flared labially with wide nutritive groove. Mesial root notch situated between the lower region of themesial cutting edge and the labial protuberance of the root, which originates at the crown base.
