IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of
Platyrrhinus incarum
provided by
Anderson (1997)
,
Velazco et al. (2010)
, and
Velazco and Lim (2014)
. No subspecies are currently recognized in
P. incarum
(
Velazco et al., 2010
)
.
Velazco et al. (2010)
identified all the material from Mayo River basin as
P. incarum
. Our Mayo River basin specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: small size (FA
35–40 mm
); poorly developed (almost imperceptible) paraoccipital processes; barely perceptible fossa on the squamosal root of the zygomatic arch; two stylar cuspules on the posterior cristid of P4; M1 protocone well developed; stylar cuspule present on lingual face of the paracone of M2; and m2 hypoconid present (
Velazco et al., 2010
). Measurements of our specimens fall within the range previously reported for the species.
