DESCRIPTION

This upper incisive shows light pigmentation on the apex and on the anteriormost part of the talon. The buccal posterior edge is rounded, gradually passing into the convex dorsal margin. The apex and the talon are placed at a sharp angle. The talon is two-cusped. The cingulum is broad and well pronounced only in the lower two thirds of the crown height. The ventral margin of the talon is slightly concave.

REMARKS

The measurements fall within the range of variability of Deinsdorfia kordosi from Csarnóta-2 ( Hungary), i.e. it is larger than the remaining Pliocene species of the genus, known from the Hungarian localities ( Reumer 1984). The other overall features also agree well with the original description. Up to now, the species has been known from Csarnóta-2 ( Reumer 1984), Rebielice Krolewskie 1A (cf.) (Rzebik-Kowalska 1990a), and Wölfersheim ( Dahlmann 2001).
