For the full description of this new species, see another 

 paper of mine, now in preparation. The type-specimen and 

 paratypes of this species belong to the American Museum. I 

 will cite here only one specimen belonging to the British 

 Museum, which is to be referred to this species.

M. 9480 ; left mandibular ramus bearing — M in situ (text- 

 fig. 1). ,'i'he mandibular ramus is very shallow (though crushed just 

 a little, it can by no means be restored to a ramus so deep as in 

 Saghatherium) and has a large fenestra-like opening on the inner 

 surface (distinctive characters from Saghatherium).
