There is a weak ridge between the paracone and the anterior loph, which is probably the postparaconule crista. The metacone is small- er and more lingually positioned than the paracone. It is connected with the protocone by the posterior loph of the protocone. The latter loph is strong, almost as wide as the metacone. A mesostyle occurs at the posterior base of the paracone, which blocks the labial exit of the narrow trigon basin. The metaconule is present, but is difficult to distinguish in heavily worn specimens. In lightly worn specimens (

, the protoconid and metaconid are transversely aligned, and the trigonid has nearly vertical anterior and posterior walls. The protoconid and the metaconid are subequal in size. The protoconid is worn more extensively and is therefore lower than the metaconid. The protoconid sends the paralophid (paracristid) to the anterolingual base of the metaconid and the protolophid (protocristid) to the posterior base of the metaconid. A crescentic trigonid basin is enclosed by the trigonid cusps and lophids.
