The nasal and rostrum are not clearly transitioned and are stubby. The posterior process of incisor is widened, forming a narrowed funnel-shaped channel between the processes of adjacent teeth. The basioccipital and basisphenoid are fused and narrowed markedly in the middle region, forming a spade-like structure (Fig.

There are four upper unicuspids (U1-U4); U1 is the highest, followed by U2, U3 and U4 is the smallest. M1 and M2 are similar in size, while M3 is reduced. The lower incisor (I1) is long, with only a low cusp and the tips are pigmented with orange. The lower unicuspid (U1) and P4 are crowded. M1 is larger than M2; M3 is the smallest.
