Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. de Bruijn 1976 | O.? provicator differs from all Western European Occitanomys species by the absence of: t1 bis in M1 and M2, a posterior spur on t1 and t3 of M1, and the longitudinal ridge in m1 and m2. O.? provicator is larger than O.? neutrum and does not have a well developed antero-central cusp in m1. |
