As drawn in their fig. 1, however, the buccal cusps appear to be worn to a low, flat plane. The buccal stylids of geomyoids are lacking. The genus is certainly not a heteromyid. The late Eocene genus Griphomys Wilson, 1940, has also been suggested (Wilson, 1949c) as a structural stage in the origin of the geomyoid crown pattern; its crown pat- tern is already bilophodont. Wahlert (1976) described the lower dentition of Jimomys in which the difference in height between Ungual and buccal parts of the teeth is slight and decreases as the teeth are evened by. prs 1 rnm hysd prsd hyd 1 I prd.
