Anayatherium fortis
Taxonomy
Anayatherium fortis was named by Shockey (2005). Its type specimen is UATF-V-00134, a maxilla (Right maxilla with P3-M2, of which P2 and M3 are poorly preserved; right and left premaxillae with left I1 and roots of right I1 and roots of both I2s; and left), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Salla, which is in a Deseadan terrestrial horizon in the Salla Formation of Bolivia.

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. J. Shockey 2005 | Larger than A. ekecoa, similar size to Leontinia gaudryi, Scarrittia canquelensis and Taubatherium major. Muzzle shorter than those of L. gaudryi and S. canquelensis. Alveolus of I1 larger than that of I2. I1 not greatly enlarged, but similar to I1 of L. gaudry. Differs from L. gaudryi by small size of I2 and reduction of anterior dentition (no apparent ca- nine). Differs from S. canquelensis by smaller I1 and presence of longitudinal lingual goove in protocone of upper premolars (lingual protocone groove is absent in S. canquelensis). Molars relatively narrower than those of S. canquelensis and L. gaudryi. Lacks the distinct molar cristae of T. major. The referral of this species to Anayatherium is tentative as it is based upon a shared suit of characters (premolar grooves of P3-4 and enlarged I1) rather than an unambiguous synapomorphy. |
