Left mandible has 3 long teeth (second or third from the base is the longest) followed by either a denticle and a smaller tooth or 2 denticles that share a common base, these located ventral to the third tooth. Right mandible has a long basal tooth followed by a much smaller second tooth; these are followed by two more long teeth (the third from the base longer than the fourth) and the fourth is subtended by a pair of denticles, or a denticle and a short tooth, below the base of the fourth tooth. Therefore in full-face view the left mandible has 3 long or spiniform teeth and the right has 4, the apical denticles not being visible in this aspect. Mandible short (MI range 17 - 33), with a broadly rounded prominent basalexternal angle visible; the dorsum proximal of the basalmost tooth distinctly concave, the concave area margined distally by a rim or carina that traverses the mandible. Mandible broad basally and tapering strikingly toward the apex in fullface view, leaving a subovate gap between the inner margins distal of the basal lamella.</paragraph>
