Description of Selenoportax vexillarius molars from Dhok Pathan Village (Middle Siwaliks), Pakistan.
Four molars of Selenoportax vexillarius are collected from village Dhok Pathan of the Middle Siwaliks. Out of four, two belong to upper dentition and the rest of two belong to lower dentition. The enamel plications vary owing to the ecological conditions and this feature can not be used for the comparison. The median basal pillars and median ribs are well developed in the molars and the comparative study is made with the type specimens of the species. The third molar of the species is broken anteriorly.
