Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. G. Eaton and R. L. Cifelli 2001 | Most similar to Bryceomys. Lower incisor covered with enamel, oval in cross section, slightly curved, with a spatulate wear facet. p4 is highly and symmetrically arched (H:L2 0.60), more arched than Bryceomys, with first serration strong and well-separated from the second. Shares with Eobaatar, Janumys, and Bryceomys asymmetric lower molars, with internal row shorter than external, and cusps of the internal row on m1 worn obliquely towards the central valley. Tendency for lower molar cusps to coalesce, particularly labial cusp row of m2. Lower molars broader relative to length than in Bryceomys. Cusps of the molars are more robust, proportionally less tall, and not as deeply divided as those of Bryceomys, particularly internal cusp rows of first molar. P4 with cusp formula 2:4, less than in Bryceomys, and higher rate of cusp climb (0.58-0.60) than Bryceomys, Dakotamys, and Janumys. Shares with Janumys lack of internal (3rd)cusp row on M1, and differs in this respect from Bryceomys, Paracimexomys, cf. Paracimexomys, or Dakotamys. |
