Description
Original diagnose after Koot et al. (2013) p. 318-319 [18013]: Moderately heterodont dentition with asymmetrical lateral teeth, low crown profile and moderately incised crown–base junction. Main cusp low, smooth and lingually directed. Longitudinal crest present, as well as a circumferential rim at the crown shoulder, but crown surface generally smooth. Moderate lingual peg, surmounted by 2–4 weak vertical ridges. Labial crown face concave in anterior teeth, but convex laterally. Small labial peg present in (antero)lateral teeth, but may be absent in anterior teeth. Lingual flexure of mesial and distal crown extremities most pronounced in lateral teeth. One pair of lateral cusplets present in anterior teeth, but gradually weaker to absent in (antero)lateral teeth. Base with slight lingual protrusion. Anaulacorhize vascularization with few randomly located foramina and labially a row of small foramina near the crown–base junction. Basolabial sulcus always present.
