Description
Original diagnose after Woodward (1911) p. 219 [2604]; Somewhat larger than the type species; the large anterior teeth completely smooth, with more slender lateral denticles; the principal antero-lateral teeth also remarkably smooth, only feebly marked with fine vertical wrinkles, not reticulations, at the base of the crown, which is always continnous; hindmost teeth with low but sharply pointed cusps, also marked with vertical wrinkles, not reticulations.
