Description
Original diagnose after Guinot et al. (2013) p. 628 [24889]: Teeth up to 7 mm high and 5 mm wide with high degree of monognathic heterodonty. Triangular cusp erect in anterior teeth, slightly bent distally in anterolateral to strongly inclined in lateral teeth. Convex lingual face of the cusp, flat labial face. Anterior teeth with low and bulky holaulacorhize root; marked lingual protuberance; root depressed labially, overhung by a slight labial bulge; short root branches. Anterolateral teeth with betterdeveloped lateral heels and root branches, both oblique in themesial region. Lateral teeth asymmetrical and mesiodistally expanded; horizontal and short distal heel and root branch separated from the cusp by a concavity; elongate and slender mesial heel and root branch; rectilinear basal edge of the branches; depressed labial root face overhung by the crown.
