Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Mein and M. Freudenthal 1971Taille de C. sansaniensis, mais ectolophes un peu plus développés que dans cette espèce; la mandibule est un peu plus oblique, de sorte que le foramen mentale est justement caché en vue verticale; la diastème est légèrement creusé; le mésolophide est absent; le métalophide est toujours antérieur; la M1 a quatre racines.
