Description
Original diagnosis after Ginter & Turner, 1999 [3135]: The teeth with three- to five-cuspid phoebodont-type crowns; the cusps rounded in cross section, gently striated on both labial and lingual sides. The tooth base roughly pentagonal, widening lingually and later narrowing to form an obtuse lingual angle; the button hemispherical to oval, situated at the lingual end of the base.
