Laelaps
cristatus
, Cope, sp. nov.
Another small species well distinguished
by
the
form
and
coarse denticulation of the teeth, approaching the genus
Troodon
. The crowns of the teeth are short, stout, compressed, and
curved
. Both sides are convex, and neither is iheetted. The dentieles are large, those
of
the posterior cutting edge the largest, and measuring M..0005.
A
characteristic feature is the full development of the (lenticnlate anterior cutting edge of the crown. This extends to the base, becoming
more
prominent as it descends. Surface
smooth
.
