The posterior ectoloph of the paraconus is connected to the metacone in all molars. Small reduced hypoconus and metaconus are visible in 6 molars (Ne 2005.90., 64., 65., 66., 88., 90.). These conelets are completely fused to the posteroloph in four molars (Ne 2005.87., 89., 479., 480.). In the juvenile unworn molars the lophs are slightly lower developed than the protoconus and the paraconus. Table 3 — Measurements of the M

M

3 molars (Table 3) — The occlusal surface of the M

3 molars is rounded and nearly isodiametric. The labial anteroloph arm is found in 7 molars (Ne 2005.57., 66., 88., 89., 90., 479, 480). A small labial anteroconus is developed in 3 molars (Ne 2005.64., 65., 87.). A lingual anteroconus is not found. A more or less pronounced lingual anteroloph arm is developed in 9 molars (Ne 2005.87., 88., 89., 90., 64., 65., 66., 479, 480.). The anteroconus is connected to the protoconus by a short anterolophulus. The protoconus is the largest cusp of the occlusal surface. The protoconus sporn is a constant element in all molars. The labial anterolophulus (or anteroconus) is connected to the paraconus in two molars (Ne 2005.89., 90.). A short mesoloph is found in three molars (Ne 2005.87., 90., 66.). A long mesoloph is visible only in one molar (2005.89.). Inventory N° L (mm) W (mm) Figures 2005.57. FF 2/3 1.90 1.80 2005.87. FF 2/3 1.95 1.85 2005.87. FF 2/3 1.95 1.85 Plate 1: 11 paratype 2005.65.

In the juvenile unworn molars the anteroconid is lower than the protoconid and the metaconid. The lingual and labial anterolophid arms are only incipient or completely missing. The labial arm is weakly developed only in three molars (Ne 2005.68., 96., 475.). The two arms are weakly developed in one specimen (Ne 2005.95.). The anteroconid and the protoconid are connected by an anterolophulid. The metalophulid I and II are equally developed in all molars. A short mesolophid is found in only two molars (Ne 2005.93., 95.). The posterolophulid is wide and not connected to the posterior margin of the entoconid. Table 4 — Measurements of the Mi molars.

The mesolophid is short. In one individual the mesolophid is doubled. The posterolophid is wide and not connected to the posterior margin of the entoconid. M3 molars (Table 6) — The lingual anterolophid arm is absent. The mesolophid is short and never reaches the metaconid. In one individual the mesolophid is absent (Ne 2005.106.). The posterolophulid is narrow and reaches the posterior margin of the entoconid.
