Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. Badiola et al. 2008 | A pinheirodontid described on the basis of P4/5 and M1, which are characterized by having abundant, long, and strongly-marked radiating enamel ridges from the tip to the base of the cusps, which intermesh at their distal ends with the neighbouring ridges; these form a labyrinth-like structure on the floor of the central valley on M1. P4 ⁄ 5 rectangular in outline and considerably lengthened, a tooth longer than it is broad, with both rows of cusps, 2B:4L, arranged clearly parallel to the mesio-distal axis. M1 with a 2B:4L cusp formula, without B3, with central valley open disto-labially, and with prominent and small cuspules on the disto-lingual and mesio-labial corners of the crown; the first one located above a cingulum-like structure, which is strongly laterally protruding, and the second one placed above the thick cingulum that encircles the mesial margin. |
