Although we are limited to comparisons of only one adult specimen from each horizon, the difference in age and dentition seems sufficient to rec- ognize t\vo species. Despite the taxonomic priorit)'. the new species will be described prior to a redescription of the type species in order to emphasize the phylogenetic and taxonomic sequence of the specimens. Specific diognosis. Similar to t\'pe species, R. texami. except for having five rather than four premaxillary teeth and 23-25 rather than 20 maxillary teeth. Horizon and locality. Cottonwood Creek,.
