. On lower molars, the mesial cingulum is separated from the protoconid by a deep incision. The only remain of the metalophid is a posterior arm of the protoconid, whereas a lingual metalophid is missing. The hypolophid [= entolophid] is more sharply defined than in the other two species, proceeding from the entoconid, and joining the ectolophid between the mesoconid and the hypoconid. Entoconid opposite to the hypoconid on the p4, whereas it is distinctly more mesial on the lower molars. (

On molars, lingual metalophulid I incomplete, buccal metalophulid I ending at midwidth; entolophid complete, attached to the distal ectolophid/prehypocristid junction; ectomesolophid present and hypoconulid reduced. On upper M2 and M3, mesostyle present and positioned only slightly more buccally than the paracone and metacone; hypocone well-developed, with strong pre- and post-hypocristae; shallow sinus present on both teeth.

The anteroloph is regular, thin and low, leaving a well-developed – but narrow – anterosyncline. The paracone and metacone have equal size. The postparacrista and premetacrista are equally developed, both attached to the mesostyle. The latter is low and weakly stretched mesiodistally; it is connected to the mesoloph, which occupies alone the bottom of the small mesosyncline. The buccal part of the protoloph is straight and, after the protruding paraconule, it joins the protocone. From the buccal part of the protoloph, there is one extra-ridge running mesially into the anterosyncline, and three very low extra-ridges descending to the centre of the basin. One linguobuccal extra-ridge starts from the lingual protoloph to the basin. The buccal metalophule II is weak and thin, turning mesially to join the metaconule, which is low and stronger than the paraconule. It is also linked to the posteroloph. Two small low extra-ridges are present along the mesial base of the metaconule. The hypocone is small and the endoloph short; below, the sinus is not well defined. A posterostyle marks the posthypocrista/ posteroloph junction. The posteroloph is higher than the anteroloph, ending at the base of the metacone.</paragraph>

The mesial end of the preprotocrista is swollen at the place of the anterostyle. The two arms of the protocone make a wide open angle. The buccal half of the protoloph is high and plunging to the level of the low extra-ridges. It bears a stretched and protruding paraconule, and then continues to a swelling before being weakly attached to the thick protocrista. Three extra-ridges are present on the distal slope of the buccal protoloph, parallel to the postparacrista. Another ridge runs from the level of the postparacrista to the basin. The mesostyle is low and stretched mesiodistally; it is prolonged in one short, low and thick mesoloph. The metaconule is present as a low bulged ridge facing the endoloph. The hypocone is reduced; distally, the area between the posthypocrista + the posteroloph + the metacone form a cingulum elevated above the basin. Its posterior edge being broken, precise relationships between these structures cannot be described.</paragraph>

SMF-ME 2099: As it is heavily worn, extraridges are not visible. The metaconid is the unique mesial cuspid, from which a faint mesiodistal ridge descends. The protoconid ridge is low and worn.

HLMD-Me 625: This tooth is quite smaller than m1. The metaconid, mesiomedian, is the highest and strongest cuspid. Its posterior arm descends gently towards the mesosynclinid lingual opening. The tooth is slightly damaged, but it is possible to see one main low mesiodistal ridge descending from the apex of the metaconid to the centre of the talonid basin. The postmetacristid is gently sploping. The protoconid is absent and the protocristid ridge hardly visible. A swelling indicates the presence of a mesoconid. There is a break between a spur at the junction between the ectolophid – anterior arm of the hypoconid and the thin and continuous entolophid. The posthypocristid makes an angle with the long posterolophid, which joins the distal slope of the entoconid. The hypoconulid is not distinct.

It does not fuse with the protoconid, leaving a narrow buccal opening of the anteroflexid. The anterolophid is higher than the other ridges, which run towards the anteroflexid and mesoflexid. From the metaconid and anterolophid, short and low extraridges descend on the centre of the tooth. Starting from the protoconid, the short buccal metalophulid is the only component of the metalophid being well developed. The thick and oblique postprotocristid bears a premesoconid spur, before the shrinkage of the mesial ectolophid. The mesoconid is bulged (horizontally worn like the protocone and hypocone) and buccally bears the ectomesolophid, as well as lingually a long mesolophid, nearly merged with the mesolophulid. The angled entolophid connects to the distal ectolophid, where it thickens (postmesoconid swelling?). There are two extra-ridges in the anterosynclinid and a few along the lingual slope of the metaconid to the basin and some granules in the posterosynclinid.</paragraph>

. The complete anterolophid is transverse, aligned with the plunging mesial premetacristid, without an individualized anteroconid, as on the type specimen; as the teeth are nearly unworn, the buccal end of the anterosynclinid remains open. This feature was argued to differentiate

, less worn than m2 and m1. This feature cannot be used in a differential diagnosis. The lingual metalophulid is stronger than on the type, and weakly joins the buccal metalophulid I on m1 and m2. The postmetacristid has the same organization as on the type with a narrow lingual opening of the mesosynclinid, but it ends into a shorter low lingual mesolophulid. Like on the type, the entolophid is complete, attached to the distal ectolophid junction with the prehypocristid. The ectomesolophid is present and the hypoconulid is reduced. The extra-ridges are better marked (but the teeth are less worn). Like for the type, the width of the posterior lobe of the m3 is only slightly reduced.
