Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| O. Thomas 1916 | Skull stout and strongly built, with broad square-edged interorbital region. Zygomatic plate projected forward. Palatal foramina narrowed behind, continued well between the molars. Bullae very large. First molar apparently without anterior notch, but wuite young specimens are not available. By its large bullae and long claws Bolomys resembles Chroeomys, but the general facies and the structure of the rest of the skull seem to indicate a nearer relationship to Akodon |
