Description
Original diagnose after Adnet & Charpentier (2022) p. 241 [30557]: Teeth of medium size (up to 5mm width); crown cuspidated in anterior teeth of male and ovoid in female and lateral teeth of male. The crown has a distinctly hollowed labial face forming an oral depression bordered by a sinuous crest labially and by a regular transverse crest lingually. Enameloid of crown mainly smooth, except around labial crest. Lingual face trapezoid shaped, whereas its lingual visor being straight to undulating with median concavity. Root is quite wide and lingually extended in anterior rows with two lobes principally rounded and separated by a large nutritive groove in all tooth rows.
