Osteichthyes - Moschidae

Taxonomy
Blastomeryx advena was named by Matthew (1907). Its type specimen is AMNH 13014, a mandible, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is AMNH Rosebud 29, which is in a Harrisonian terrestrial horizon in the Rosebud Formation of South Dakota.

It was recombined as Parablastomeryx advena by Frick (1937); it was recombined as Pseudoblastomeryx advena by Webb (1998), Prothero (2007), Prothero (2008).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. R. Prothero 2008Smaller species of late Arikareean-early Hemingfordian blastomerycines with unreduced premolar row (70% or more of molar row length). Differs from all other blastomerycines except Machaeromeryx in its smaller size, but it is significantly larger than Machaeromeryx.
