Description
Original diagnosis after Ginter, 2008 [966]: As for genus: Multicuspid teeth with symmetrical to asymmetrical crowns. The median cusp only slightly larger than the main lateral cusps. The main cusps and larger intermediate cusplets triangular, compressed labio-lingually, recurved but non-sigmoidal, ornamented on the labial faceswith distinct cristae joining just below the tips. Lateral carina connecting all the cusps.Asmall accessory cusplet present on each lateral end of the crown. The base provided with a well developed basolabial rim, slightly depressed below the median cusp. Two mesio-distal rows of pores on the orolingual surface: one near the crown, another along the lingual rim.
