P. Bondesio and J. Bocquentin Villanueva 1988Igual que la del género, pero el M3 está compuesto por siete láminas indivisas labialmente y el p4 por cuatro láminas: las dos anteriores unidas labialmente y las dos posteriores libres. Talla menor que Phoberomys burmeisteri Kraglievich, 1926 y mayor que la de Neoepiblema horridula Ameghino, 1886.
