"Postpithecus reflexus n. sp." = Othnielmarshia reflexa3 Ameghino 1901 notoungulate MACN 10803. "Three fragmentary lower jaws, one with m1-2, one with p4-m1, and one with p3-4. They are not associated, and the last mentioned, at least, probably does not belong to this species, or indeed family. The type description was probably based entirely on the first specimen, with m1-2, and this was also figured. It is therefore the type or lectotype."
"Postpithecus curvicrista n. sp." = Othnielmarshia curvicrista3 Ameghino 1901 notoungulate MACN 10806. "A number of isolated teeth, not associated and perhaps not all conspecific, including isolated left m1 or m2, isolated left m3, left m1 or m2 in fragment of jaw, and right m1 or m2 in fragment of jaw. The isolated m1 or m2 and m3 were later figured (Ameghino, 1906, fig. 77), but the type description was evidently based entirely on one tooth, a m1 or m2, and the measurements given are closer to those of the isolated m1 or m2 (not in jaw fragment) in the present lot of material. This is therefore designated lectotype."
