---|---|---|
J. W. Gidley 1922 | Length of the cheek teeth 4.5 millimeters; size somewhat larger than O. leu. ruidosae, which it somewhat more nearly resembles than any other living species. It further differs from that species in its relatively greater depth of jaw, the greater degree to which the masseteric ridge is carried forward, and the somewhat less reduced condition of the last cheek tooth. |
