J. N. Gelfo and B. Sigé 2011In contrast to the rest of didolodontids, well developed metastylid, ectostylid, and twinned hypoconulid. Medium sized didolodontid, larger than Raulvaccia peligrensis and smaller than Lamegoia conodonta. Trigonid higher and wider than the talonid. The m3 with small but well−developed paraconid placed mesiolabially with respect to the metaconid. Metastylid and ectostylid present.
