Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
Hibbard 1972 | Rooted molars, lacking cement, with very short dentine tracts. First lower molar with three anlternating triangles and complcated anterior loop. Smaller than Ogmodontomys poaphagus and larger than Ophiomys taylori, but with higher crowned teeth for its size. Apex of second and third lingual and and second labial reentrant angles constricted and directed more sharply anteriorly. Thinned enamel on anterior borders of these reentrant angles. These characters distinguish Ophiomys magilli from known species of Ogmodontomys, Cosomys and Ophiomys. |
