Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. E. Burch et al. 2024 | This species is diagnosed by the following combination of anatomical traits (potential autapomorphy denoted with an *): an ankylosed subthecodont dentition (sensu Bertin et al., 2018); distal dentary teeth are inclined distally from perpendicular to the mesial tooth edge; distal dentary teeth are oval in coronal cross-section (longer in the
mesial-distal direction) with no carinae or serrations; replacement of teeth occurring in pits located distolingually to the fully-erupted teeth, a taller (1.0 mm) labial wall and slightly lower (0.9 mm) lingual wall of the dental shelf; intramandibular septum present; a rounded, incomplete, and ventrally-free intramandibular septum at the posteroventral portion of the dentary* (sensu Estes, 1964) projecting from the medial surface of the lateral wall; lingual and labial grooves extending from the base of the tooth to the tip of the crown. |
