Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. J. Burke 1935PlMy Approaching Paretimys miller i Peterson in general
construction, but a smaller species; lower jaw shallower, cusps less
erect, protoconids less crescentic, entoconids less prominent, trigonid
cusps (particularly in P3) less widely separated, hypolophulid crests
of molars more transverse, crests connecting protoconids and hypo-
conids of M2-3 not as angulate, and posterior valleys narrower.
