Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| S. Sen 2001 | Molars low crowned. Upper molars, especially M1, are wide. M2 has a deep lingual sinus that curves backwards, three roots and a small anteroloph that is better preserved on the unworn specimens. On m1, the anteroconid has a strong labial arm that reaches the base of the protoconid, m1 and m2 have a strong posterolophid, and the protocinusid is deep on m2, isolating a strong anterolabial cusp. A labial anterolophid is still preseved on m3. |
