---|---|---|
W. H. Osgood 1915 | Somewhat intermediate between Euneolys and Phyllotis; upper incisors with slight but distinct grooves near the outer edges of their anterior surfaces; molariform teeth slightly more hypsodont than in Phyllotis and with the division of the anterior lobe of the second upper and lower molars persisting throughout a longer period of wear so that these teeth in specimens of average age present three outer angles instead of two; pattern of tooth crowns with angles much less oblique than in Euneomys; maxillary suture in front of infraorbital foramen nearly vertical as in Phyllotis, not decidedly flexed forward in its lower half as in Euneomys; palatal pits and foramina practically as in Phyllotis; tail shorter than head and body as in Euneomys. |
