Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. W. Matthes 1952 | Big, length of basilar about 200 mm. Upper P1 - upper M3 81 mm. C - upper M3 no diastema. Upper M3 transversally placed with metaconus, tooth well developed. P not reduced. Metastyle of upper M1-3 big, developed to a long edge. Upper P4 has three roots and is bigger than upper M1. Upper P1 have two roots. Upper M2 is the biggest tooth of upper maxilla, cutting edge and middle suture of palatine have an angle of 45°. Para- and metacone of upper M1 present. Angle between proto- para- metacone of upper M1-2 nearly 90°. Upper M2 has parastyle and para- and metacone. From metacone metastyle goes to some degree in labial direction. Upper M3 has two main cusps. Para- and metacone always clearly divided by a distinct valley. Metacone bigger than paracone. Upper P4 with big deuterocone, protocone present. Palate increase in width between the molars. | |
| H. W. Matthes 1952 (Imperatoria) | Lower M3 bigger than lower M2. Lower M1-3 increase in size. The more anterior P have little diastemas. Talonid of lower P4 basin-like. Lower M1-3 38 mm, lower jaw length above 150 mm. Lower jaw robust. Talonids more slender than trigonids. Lower P1 have two roots. P has anterior basal cusps. C thick. P not reduced. Lower P4 with two roots, biggest of P. Lower M1-3 with metaconid. Paraconids higher than metaconids. Trigonids high and well developed. |
