---|---|---|
R. Wu and Y. Pan 1984 | Lower P4 highly molarised. The canine show marked sexual dimorphism. The upper premolars are relatively large in size. The upper molars are spare in outline. Upper M3 is rather large and its distal fovea enlarged postero-lingually. The mandibular body is rather high. The mandibular symphysis extends backward to the lavel of the posterior part of lower P3. Both the superior and inferior tori are well-developed. |
