Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. A. Armella et al. 2022Excavated palate; P2 elliptical with its major axis almost mesiodistally oriented, markedly proportionally smaller than P3 and P4, and the P2 of Tremacyllus impressus; P3 elliptical with its major axis obliquely oriented (distolingual-mesiolabially); P4 with almost rectangular distolingual face with rounded edges, ectoloph slightly concave in the distal section and convex near the parastyle region, straight distal face oriented perpendicular to the mesiodistal axis of the tooth and mesial face obliquely oriented (distolingual-mesiolabially) well-differentiated from lingual one, both forming an obtuse angle; upper premolars clearly less imbricated than in Tremacyllus impressus (modified from Rovereto 1914; Cerdeño & Bond 1998).
