Phascolomys kreffti, Owen 2 . 



This species is very closely allied to P. latifrons, from which it is 

 mainly distinguished by a difference in the direction of the sutures 

 between the nasals, maxillae, and parietals, and also by the more 

 backward extension of the mandibular symphysis, and a difference 

 in the contour of the inner surface of the ramus.
