Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. G. Rümke 1976A small Desmanella species (length of m1 = 1.43 mm). m1 relatively small, not much larger than m3. m1-m3 with continuous cingulum along the anterior, labial and posterior sides. M1 with concave posterior outline due to the strongly elongated hypocone. Lingual cusps of M1 and M2 forming a slightly curved crest. Posterior cingulum of M1 and M2 ending at the postero-labial corner of the tooth. M3 relatively large, hypocone separated from the protocone by a wide valley.
