Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
F. J. Goin and A. M. Candela 2004Differs from other prepidolopids (Prepidolops Pascual, 1980a, and Punadolops Goin et al., 1998) in the following features: upper molars with less difference in height between the protocone and the paracone– metacone; centrocrista less open, with premetacrista and postparacrista longer and closer to each other at their labial ends; metaconule clearly distinct and bearing small postcingulum at its base; anterobasal cingulum present (vestigial or absent in other prepidolopids), paracone and StB not as close to each other (especially relative to their positions in Prepidolops didelphoides Pascual, 1980a), and trigon basin relatively larger (especially relative to that of Prepidolops didelphoides).
