FIGURE 2. Ventral (left), lateral (middle, above), ventrolateral (middle, below) and dorsal (right) views of the skull and labial view (middle, center) of the left dentary (reversed) of specimen LCM 1759, referred as the holotype of Loxodontomys pikumche by Spotorno et al. (1998: figure 5). Arrows indicate some morphological differences between Phyllotis and Loxodontomys (cf. Braun, 1993; Steppan, 1995; Teta et al., 2009): a—parallel molar toothrow (posteriorly divergent in Loxodontomys); b—well inflated auditory bullae (slightly inflated); c—mandibular condyle obliquely oriented (more transversely oriented); d—hypsodont molars (hypsodonty much less marked); e—M2 larger than M3 (M2 subequal to M3); f—anterior portion of nasal bones slightly expanded in the anterior third (well expanded).
