Medial walls of lower molars with slight outbowings only 10. Lateral lobes pointed but not narrowed in their lateral part 11. Medial wall of back lobe of M3 set more laterally than medial wall of anterior lobes 12. Hypoconid of P4 often not pro- jecting laterally and never with a deep valley in front of it 13. Paraconid-metaconid on P4 usually not fused but metaconid growing forward 14.
