Description
Original diagnose after Guinot et al. (2013) p. 664 [24889]: Robust teeth with low degree of monognathic heterodonty. Anterolateral teeth symmetrical and as high as wide; lateral teeth more mesiodistally expanded; triangular and biconvex main cusp with well-developed cutting edges and high heels except in anteriors. Labial ornament of short and strong longitudinal ridges not reaching the crown base, tapering at the height of the heels. Flat and strongly labially and lingually flared basal root face; nutritive groove varying from open to partly closed. Several labial, lingual and basal foramina.
