Its type locality is Mustersan of Patagonia, which is in a Mustersan terrestrial horizon in Argentina. It is the type species of Pseudhyrax.

Synonyms
  • Pseudopithecus modestus was named by Roth (1902). Its type specimen is MLP 12-2200, a maxilla (fragment of right maxilla with three teeth, probably dP2-4), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Lago Musters, which is in a Mustersan terrestrial horizon in Argentina. It is the type species of Pseudopithecus.

    It was synonymized subjectively with Pseudhyrax eutrachytheroides by Simpson (1967).

    It was synonymized subjectively with Pseudhyrax eutrachytheroides by Simpson (1967).
  • Rankelia elegans was named by Roth (1902). Its type specimen is MLP 12-2286, a tooth (isolated right upper molar, deeply worn, perhaps M2), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Lago Musters, which is in a Mustersan terrestrial horizon in Argentina. It is the type species of Rankelia.

    It was synonymized subjectively with Pseudhyrax eutrachytheroides by Simpson (1967).
