D i a g n o s i s. Medium sized species of Prosantorhinus with less shortened distal limb segments and very low crowned small cheek teeth. Medisinus of upper premolars more frequently closed than in other species of the genus. Metacone rib of upper premolars broad and more lingually inclined than paracone rib. Mostly without a distal hypocone furrow in upper molars. Last upper molar with triangular outline, but the short distal cingulum appears as one or two prominent warts. Lower premolars without any trace of a labial cingulum. Limb bones large compared with tooth size.

D e s c r i p t i o n. The material from the type locality is described in Heissig and Fejfar (2007). Additional and more comprehensive material will be described in Heissig and Fejfar (2018).
