Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. de Bruijn et al. 1979Pseudoltinomys gliriformis is similar in size to P. phosphoricus Hartenberger, 1973, P. cuvieri (Pomel, 1852) and P. gaillardi Lavocat, 1951. All D4, P4 and M1,2 are provided with an extra ridge between the metaloph and the mesoloph. Most upper molars, except M3 have yet another additional ridge between the mesoloph and the protoloph.
