Debruijnia kostakii de Bruijn 2017
Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. de Bruijn 2017Debruijnia kostakii is a large spalacine. The anteroloph of the M1 is separated from the protocone by a shallow notch and the anterior arm of the protocone is either complete or interrupted. The metalophule is transverse in some M1, but connected to the posteroloph in others. The sinus of the five-lophed M3 remains open lingually until an advanced stage of wear. The m1 is elongate and its metaconid does not fuse with the anteroconid until a late wear stage. The protosinusid is progressively less developed from m1 through m3. A long free-ending posterior arm of the hypoconid is present in fresh m1.
