1926 Prioniodus proclinatus n. sp. - Ulrich & Bassler, pag. 10-11, Plate 1, fig. 22.

Original diagnosis - Distinguished from its nearest allies by the great size, straightness and strong anterior inclination of the terminal cusp. The lateral denticles, six in number, cylindrical, entirely separated, rather short, bluntly accuminate, are fairly strong and inclined in a similar degree. The bar is thin and straight and makes a rectangular junction with the uncommonly thick downward projection of the main cusp.

Occurrence - Rhinestreet Formation, U. S. A. (Ulrich & Bassler, 1926).

Age range - Upper Devonian (Ulrich & Bassler, 1926).

Holotype - Cat. No. 11240, U.S.N.M.
