ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Gibert 1974p4 is two-rooted. The labial crest of p4 is present, but the lingual one is absent. The postero-internal depression of p4 is small. The m1 has a very wide trigonid basin and a long paralophid. The m3 has the hypoconid and the entoconid preserved. The upper incisor is not bifid. The articular facets of the mandible are separated by a narrow interarticular area.
J. A. Van Dam 2004Small Crusafontina species. The I1 apex is long, with L/H not smaller than about 1.40. Metastyle M1 extending more buccally than parastyle, and hypoconal flange not protruding lingually. The i1 is bi- to tricuspulate. The m3 talonid contains a small basin. m3–m1 length ratio not smaller than about 0.40.
