Parastyle and mesostyle very robust and paracone supported by prominent median rib. Weak external rib of metacone and weak metastyle. Upper molars very similar to one another, with trapezoidal, closely packed lingual crescents. Protocone somewhat smaller than metacone. Tiny entostyle on second molars. Lingual walls somewhat more corrugated than labial walls in upper check teeth, opposite in lower ones. Mandible with slightly sinuous horizontal ramus; marked mandibular scissure; premolars compressed mesiodistally and enlarged labiolingually; molars elongated mesiodistally and somewhat compressed labiolingually; paraconid absent or rudimentary; lingually open mesial fossette; metastylid and postentocristid strong; small ectostylid on each lower molar; third lower molars with wide, mesiolingually open mesial fossette; distal margin of hypoconulid separated from entoconulid occlusalward, and fused to it towards the collar; cementum occasionally present; cingula absent in lower cheek teeth; rugose enamel on lower molars.

Marked mandibular scissure. p3 and p4 short, somewhat compressed mesiodistally and enlarged labiolingually. Parastylid well developed, paraconid absent; weak, backward verging metaconid. Entoconid well developed and backward verging like metaconid. Entostylid very small. Vertical groove on the posterolingual region of p4. Labial enamel wall rugose, lingual wall smooth. m1m2 elongated mesiodistally and somewhat compressed labiolingually. Labial conids markedly triangular. m1 tightly in contact with p4, mesial wall flattened, preprotocristid bent abruptly in lingual direction with marked angle. Premetacristid very sharp and prominent lingually. Metastylid and postentocristid also very sharp and prominent. Preprotocristid fused to premetaconid crista, and postprotocristid to pre-entocristid. Hypoconid isolated. Small ectostylids. Enamel rugose. Residual cementum. m3 with tetraconid similar to that of m2. Premetacristid bent lingually, and preprotocristid separated from it, mesial fossette thus wide and opened mesiolingually. Distal margins of hypoconulid and entoconulid separated occlusalwards and rapidly fused towards collar.
