L. R. S. Schwartz 2006Miralinines with an anteriorly projecting sectorial parastyle on M1,and a nearly complete metaloph, formed from both a lingually directed crista and a buccally directed crista. Distinguished from species of Miralina in lacking a branching premetaconule crista or a cusp anterior to the metacone, by the nearly complete metaloph, and by the lack of transverse ridges on the molars. Distinguished from Durudawirines by the presence of a sectorial parastyle on M1
