Description
Original diagnose after Popov & Shapovalov (2021) p. 412 (for the new genus) [30016]: (Based on the dental system; the asterisk (*) indicates apomorphic characters). Callorhinchid known from small-sized mandibular, palatine, and vomerine tooth plates. Field of basal perforation is well-developed on all tooth plates. Mandibular tooth plates have vascular tritors: the median tritor is wide, bifurcated, with a well-developed inner branch (*). The inner tritor is moderately developed. The outer tritor is narrow. Palatine tooth plates are robust and tall and have a greatly developed aboral part which is 1.5–2 times larger than the height of the oral part of the tooth plate; the single rounded inner tritor of vascular pleromin is displaced towards the symphyseal margin (*). Vomerine tooth plates are subtriangular, laterally compressed, with a well-developed symphysis which is occlusally rotated and forms a symphyseal crest in occlusion; tritors are absent (*)
