Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Pelaez-Campomanes and R. Daams 2002A Peridyromys species of relatively small size with two−rooted lower molars, a posterior extra ridge in m1 and m2 and two centrolophs in M1 and M2. Peridyromys lavocati differs from P. murinus (Pomel, 1853) from the Lower Miocene of Western Europe by its larger size and more complicated dental pattern. It differs from P. aquatilis (Bruijn and Moltzer, 1974) from the Lower Miocene of Spain by its larger size and more simple dental morphology. Peridyromys lavocati differs from P. columbarii Daams, 1989 from the Upper Oligocene of Spain, from P. turbatus Daams and Visser, de, 1990 (in Álvarez et al., 1990) from the Lower Miocene of Spain, and from P. jaegeri Aguilar, 1974 from the Lower Miocene of France by its less complicated dental pattern. From Myomimus dehmi (Bruijn, de, 1966) from the Lower Vallesian of Spain it differs by having two roots in the lower molars instead of three, slightly larger size, and slightly lower number of lophs in M1 and M2.
