Studies made on the premolars and molar teeth have a few similarities with those of " Paranthropus boisei " since they are larger than any other gracile form of australopithecine.

On account of the definitive traits associated with this " robust " line of australopithecine, anthropologist Robert Broom established the genus " Paranthropus " and placed this species in it.
