Glypturus
aff.
G. toulai
(
Rathbun, 1919
)
2013
Glypturus toulai
(Rathbun)
; Hy̆zńy
et al.:
132, fig. 6.
Remarks.
Hy̆zńy
et al.
(2013) ascribed specimens from the lower Miocene Culebra Formation in
Panama
to
G. toulai
based on the extent of the tuberculation on the propodus. The limited number of specimens and their inadequate preservation does not allow rigorous bi- and multivariate analyses to reassess their placement. One possible difference with
G. toulai
from the upper Miocene Gatun Formation in
Panama
is the extent of the tubercles on the inner side of the propodus (Hy̆zńy
et al.
2013, fig. 6). Also given the long interval between deposition of the Gatun and Culebra formations (~10 Ma, see
Coates 1999
;
Kirby
et al.
2008
) relative to the other, younger species its ascription to
G. toulai
must be regarded as preliminary. Therefore, we herein propose the more conservative
Glypturus
aff.
G. toulai
until more material is studied.
