| metaconule |
in mammalian dentition. Apparantly, this is the same as the hypoconule, that is, a small cusp on an upper molar lying near the line between the protocone (the lingual main cusp) and the metacone (the distal main cusp). If the line is marked by a ridge, the ridge is the postprotocrista. By "main cusp," I mean one of the large cusps defining the vertices of the trigon. See figure at mesostyle.
