Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. H. Walton 1990 | Cheek tooth prism number as in Prodolichotis or Orthomyctera. Two sulci on labial surface of upper molars and on lingual surface in lower molars, moderately deep in posterior prisms and variable (flat, shallow, or equal deep) on anterior prisms. Sulci situated so that prisms connected by narrow, define arch. Tendency towards reduction of width of dentine tract. Anterior prism longer transversly than posterior prism in uppers, posterior prism longer than anterior in lowers, more so than in Prodolichotis or Orthomyctera. p4 long for its width; m3 posterior prism wider than tooth length. Posteiror projection on M3 appressed to the posterior prism, forming acute lingual angle. Tendency towards separation of posterior projection (posterior prism) of M3 and anterior prism of p4. |
