Micoureus laventicus
Taxonomy
Marmosa laventica was named by Marshall (1976) [Holotype: UCMP 39273, from locality UCMP V4536. Partial right mandibular ramus with lower m1-2, anterior root and posterior alveolus for lower m3, m4 complete.]. It is considered to be a form taxon. Its type specimen is UCMP 39273, a mandible (Partial right mandibular ramus), and it is a 3D body fossil.
It was recombined as Micoureus laventicus by Goin (1997).

Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
L. G. Marshall 1976 | Medium sized didelphine. Differs from living species of Marmosa in its larger
size and in having a relatively larger lower m4 talonid with a well developed hypoconulid. | |
F. J. Goin 1997 | Slightly larger than the living Micoureus cinereus; differs from the living species of the genus in that the anterobasal cingulum of the lower molars is only partially developed and in that the ectoflexa of the upper molars are comparatively shallow and with larger metacrista |
