Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
F. J. Goin and A. M. Candela 2004Upper molars strongly heterodont, with large, posterolingually displaced metaconule; M1, and to a lesser extent M2, with very reduced trigon basin as a consequence of the more labial and posterior position of protocone; protocone slightly lower than labial cusps; St? C, intermediate, but far labial to StB and StD, present only in M1; and (preprotoconal?) cingulum strong, anterolingual to protocone, especially in M1.
