Fig. 2. Character state coding of character 67 of Verzi et al. (2014), "Mesolophid of m1–2 or the corresponding spur" as scored by these authors for several octodontoid taxa. A. Myocastor, scored as 67-0 (i.e., present, at least during early ontogenetic stages). B. Acaremys (including Sciamys), scored as 67-0 (i.e., present, at least during early ontogenetic stages). C. Proechimys, scored as 67 [02], showing a specimen corresponding to character state 67-2 (i.e., fused to metalophulid II forming a complex crest). D. Neophanomys, scored as 67-1 (i.e., absent). E. Thrichomys, scored as "?". F. The tetralophodont Spaniomys, scored as "?". G. Sciamys, showing persistence of transverse lophids in an adult specimen (MLP 15- 218). Vertical and horizontal lines indicate essentially the same occlusal patterns that were differently scored.
