Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
N. López-Martínez and P. Peláez-Campomanes 1999Upper molars having a rather broad stylar shelf, labially delimited by a longitudinal cingulum. The preparacrista is directed towards the stylocone instead of the parastyle. The conules are well developed. M1-2 having pre- and postcingulum, the latter bearing a hypocone. The well-developed postmetaconulecrista almost reaches the labial border of the tooth. Ectoflexus poorly developed. M3 elongated transversely and showing a postcingulum but no hypocone. Lower molars with well-differentiated paraconid, lower than the strong metaconid.
