pared to Rhodopagus minimus, Rhodopagus radinskyi, and Yimengia zdanskyi; differs from Yimengia by the presence of p3-4 entoconids and a non-molariform P4 which bears a continuous, ‘‘V”-shaped protoloph-metaloph loop; p2-3 protolophids are shorter compared to Yimengia yani; differs from Y. zdanskyi by the near equal height of the m2-3 protolophids and hypolophids; unlike R. minimus and R. radinskyi, the distinct cristid obliqua of lower premolars and molars contact the protolophid lingual to the protoconid; the lower molars do not exhibit swollen root tips as R. minimus. |
