Its type locality is Taouz-Hammada du Guir [PROXY], which is in a Cenomanian terrestrial sandstone in Morocco.

| E. S. Gaffney et al. 2002 | A species of Galianemys differing from Galianemys whitei by having a prefrontal-frontal suture convex anteriorly rather than straight; small or absent jugal-palatine contact; jugal not exposed on triturating surface; triturating surface flat; labial ridge relatively thicker; antrum postoticum relatively larger; prootic exposed ventrally containing foramen nervi facialis; deep fossa ptergoidei; foramen nervi vidiani exposed ventrally; and foramen posterius canalis carotici interni formed mostly by basisphenoid with only slight or no contribution from pterygoid. |
