SYNONYMY. — See Vianey-Liaud et al. (1995).

HOLOTYPE. — Left M/2, no. 96182, Lyon 1 University.

TYPE LOCALITY. — Coderet (Allier, France), MP 30.

DIAGNOSIS. — “ Gliravus with teeth significantly larger than those of G. majori Stehlin & Schaub, 1951, and G. tenuis, Bahlo, 1975, smaller than those of G. bravoi Hugueney et al., 1985, and size close to that of G. daamsi, Bosma & de Bruijn, 1982 . Differs from the other Gliravus species by the absence of mesoconid and the reduced mesolophid; mesolophid occasionally connected to the hypoconid. Centrolophs generally reduced, and very low when present” (Vianey-liaud 1994: 133, translated from French).

MATERIAL AND MEASUREMENTS (in mm). — Two M1-2: SPV 192: 1.23 × 1.50, SPV 193: 1.12-1.40; three m1-2: SPV 194: 1.24 × 1.29, SPV 195: 1.28 × 1.39, SPV 196: 1.22 × 1.39.

DESCRIPTION

Teeth size and morphological characters fall into the variations of those of Gliravus bruijni Hugueney,

1967, as described from different localities where the species occurs (e.g., Hugueney 1967; Vianey- Liaud 1994; Vianey-Liaud et al. 1995).

M1-2 pattern is simple, with a single centroloph, and the lingual ends of anteroloph and posteroloph swollen and well separated from the protocone. On m1-2, the mesoconid is absent.
