| M. Vucetich et al. 2015 | Small caviomorph similar in size to Garridomys curunuquem Kramarz et al., 2013, and Eoviscaccia Vucetich, 1989. Cheek teeth protohypsodont, but with crowns lower than in Garridomys and Eoviscaccia; two persistent labial fossettes in upper teeth, different from Eoviscaccia; posterior labial fossette as large as the hypofossette, different from G. curunu- quem; hypoflexus/id closing well above the base of the tooth forming a hypofossette/id; enamel thick and homogeneously distributed becoming thinner only on the posterior wall with age, different from G. curunuquem and Eoviscaccia; p4 with the trigonid much narrower than the talonid different from G. curunuquem and Eoviscaccia; cement absent as in Incamys Hoffstetter and Lavocat, 1970; mental foramen absent, different from G. curunu- quem and Eoviscaccia boliviana Vucetich, 1998, diastema more excavated than in G. curunuquem; lower incisor more robust than in G. curunuquem. |
