Description
Original diagnosis after Ivanov, Nestell & Nestell, 2012 [17291]: As for genus: Small teeth with three to six cusps in the crown; cusps separated from each other, strongly flattened labiolingually, long, narrow, acute at the top, with slender lateral carina, covered by a regular lanceolate ornamentation of delicate cristae on the labial side; straight inner cusps equal in height or shorter than the lateral ones; lateral cusps and all inner cusps in the multicuspid teeth diverge from the crown centre; labial ornament from three to five cristae; base slightly extended lingually, smooth, oval, slightly arched; labio-basal tubercles from one to four, oval, compact, slightly prominent, lie in one line.
