Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. W. van den Hoek Ostende 1992G. saratji is a small species of Galerix. The p2 is longer than the p3. The p4 has a well-developed trigonid. Its paraconid is not connected to the protoconid. The P3 usually has one lingual cusp. The connection between the protocone and hypocone and between the protocone and the metaconule in M1 and M2 are equally strong.
