Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. D. Gottfried et al. 2009 | Distinguished from other 'ceratodontid' lungfish upper toothplates by the following unique combination of features: markedly slender (overall length:maximum width ratio 2.6:1) in proportion; first (anteriormost) ridge diverges at an angle of ca.55 degrees from the next ridge and has distinct bend halfway along its length; second ridge slightly shorter but projecting further lingually than first; second and third ridges arcuate, fourth and fifth ridges sinusoidal along ridge crests; sixth ridge much shorter (no more than half the length of preceding ridges); labial margin of toothplate essentially straight (rather than curved) from second through sixth ridges and not strongly projecting at base of second ridge as in other ceratodontids; third through sixth ridges do not converge along labial margin. |
