Description
Original diagnosis after Richards, Sherwin, Smithson, Bennion, Davies, Marshall & Clack, 2018 [27073]: Diagnosed by McCoy (1855). Terminal tooth obliquely trigonal and slightly convoluted, median tooth narrow and much convoluted. All teeth longitudinally marked with thick step-like, oblique, flattened wrinkles, apparently at right angles to the articular edges. Porous surface.
As for genus, but with four to six pronounced conical cusps arranged linearly along the symphyseal occlusal ridge. No narrow shelf symphyseal to the occlusal ridge.
