M plethodon (): Upper premolars separated from each other just by a small diastema (<l/2 the length of the anterior upper premolars). : Monophylliis plethodon, upper tooth row Leptonycteris () L nivalis: Skull long and flat, rostnmi almost half of total length, braincase wider than high. Skull base well vaulted (basisphenoid), presphenoid ridge ending bulging; Pterygoid processes flat, shghtly club-shaped (in contrast to Choeroniscus), Fossa mandibularis "shadowed" by Processus glenoidalis - comparatively solid mandibular joint. Mandibula long and narrow, Processus coronoideus only slightly higher than Proc. articularis. Curvature of the Ramus mandibularis inserts yet caudal of the Proc.
