This taxon was probably scored 1 by mistake because this portion of the skull is not preserved in the holotype , and there are no more specimens different to these two. Character 176: changed from 0 to “?”, because the lower canine is unknown. Character 212: changed from 0 to 1, because the protocone is not vestigial but very small. Character 214: changed from 1 to 0, because the protocone has a small basin. Character 219: changed from “–” to 0. The next characters were coded based on specimen from Quebrada Honda, Bolivia (see Material examined): 49, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 61, 66, 83, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 91, 93, 95, 98, 99, 100, 101, 103, 146, 148, 151, 152, 155, 182, 183, 190, 191, 233, 234, 239, 240, 241, 242,243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 249, 250, 251, 252, 253, 254, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 266,267, 268, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, and 276.
