Maximum breadth of molariforms at half of height in the anterior ones and within lower third in the posterior ones. Apices in close lateral distance. The blunt ridge in between has a third of the maximum breadth of the tooth. Ratio between lenght of tooth row (a) to maximum height of dentary (c) is 3.1. Largest molariform is about as high as dentary bone.]
