C. W. Hibbard 1955 large grasshopper mouse which belongs to the Onycho- mys leucogaster group. The diastemal region is wider, the jaw deeper, and the M, not as reduced, however, as in Recent specimens of 0. leuco- gaster. The jaw is slightly larger and the M, is definitely larger than in 0. pedroensis Gidley from the Curtis Ranch fauna of Arizona.
