(Slack). listed an example of this species as typical and being in the American Museum in New York, the original of Leidy's figure 11 is in the Academy. Further, his example is said to be an upper dental pavement with 11 median and several small lateral teeth. Leidy states that this example has seven median teeth, together with three small teeth of the first row of one side. Formation and locality. Known from the Eocene of Mon- mouth County by the type (W. Cleburne) and one paratype (J. H. Slack)..
