BERGERI HEISSIG, 1978</p> <p>Referred material: Mas de Got: a left maxillary fragment with P1/-M3/ (MGT 3210), a right maxillary fragment with P3/-M3/ (MGT 3211). Pech Crabit: a right maxillary fragment with P3/-M2/ (PCT 412). Roqueprune 2: a left maxillary fragment with P2/-M1/ (ROQ 2 348). Mounayne: a left maxillary fragment with P3/-P4/ (MOU 186).</p> <p>Measurements: See Table 2.</p> <p>Description: The upper premolars are elongate. The P1/, borne by the maxillary (Fig. 2E), is premolariform. The P2/ bears a small median cusp but no lingual cusp; the latter is replaced by a cingulum. The well developed anterior lobe of P3/ possesses salient styles on the ectoloph and a weakly developed distolingual cusp.</p> <p>Comparison: Some specimens from Mas de Got (MP 22), Pech Crabit, Roqueprune 2 and Mounayne (MP 23) are of a size comparable to those referred to P. huerzeleri (Berger, 1959). They differ from this species, however, in P2/, which has a small median cusp and a lingual cingulum and in P3/, which has a more developed anterior lobe and a weaker distolingual cusp than those of P. huerzeleri. All these features are similar to those of species belonging to Paroxacron. Heissig (1978) attributed to Paroxacron (under the name P. bergeri) a fragment of a mandible from Quercy and a specimen from Bernloch, Switzerland (MP 23). This poorly known specimen, which was originally attributed to Cainotherium by Berger (1959), is represented by a few isolated teeth. Among these, some examples of P3/ are similar to those described in this study. According to Heissig (1978), the P/2-P/3 diastema, typical of Paroxacron, is absent in P. bergeri. It was not possible, however, to distinguish elements of the lower dentition in the material from the Quercy localities. Thus it is with some reservations that this material is attributed to P. bergeri.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/581987E1FF96FF8722915A74FDD9F99D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

For the length of P/3 from Aubrelong 1 and Ravet (MP 21): N = 24, M = 3.40, s = 0.23, K–S, d = 0.897, P&gt; 0.20, W = 0.96, P = 0.438, V = 6.87. P/3 from Mas de Got and La Plante 2 (MP 22): N = 21, M = 3.02, s = 0.21, K–S, d = 0.084, P&gt; 0.20, W = 0.97, P = 0.672, V = 6.93. P/3 from Pech Crabit, Mounayne, Itardies (MP 23): N = 6, M = 3.21, s = 0.16, K–S, d = 0.19, P&gt; 0.20, W = 0.97, P = 0.897, V = 5.05.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Upper dentition: A maxillary fragment from Aubrelong 1 (Fig. 3A) bears a premolariform P1/ that is short and biradicular. The elongate P2/ has a weakly developed distolingual tubercle. The triangular P3/ has a well developed mediolingual cusp from which two crests extend to the prominently strong parastyle and metastyle. The labial and lingual cusps of P4/ are median, the parastyle and the metastyle are strong. The same characters are evident in specimens (PL 2 1180) from La Plante 2 (MP 22).</p> <p>Lower dentition: On the mandibular fragment (MGT 104), the single-rooted P/1 is caniniform and the anterior stylid is not clearly marked (Fig. 3B). The diastema that separates P/1 from P/2 varies between 0.5 and 1.9 mm in length. The double-rooted P/2 bears a well developed paraconid, while the main cusp is directed backward and reaches the distolingual angle. On P/3, the paraconid is situated lingually and P/4 has a well developed style. The protoconid and the metaconid form large tubercles separated by a deep notch (e.g. ABL1 1458). There are no differences between the material from Aubrelong 1 and that from La Plante 2 or Pech Crabit.</p> <p>Comparison: The presence of a single-rooted caniniform P/1, a diastema between this premolar and P/2, the presence of a well developed mediolingual cusp and a short anterior lobe on P/3 indicate that this small cainotherine from Aubrelong 1 (MP 21) belongs to Plesiomeryx. In specimens from the localities of Aubrelong 1, La Plante 2, and Pech Crabit, the dimensions of teeth in the lower dental rows (Table 3), and the features of the lower premolars agree with the description of P. cadurcensis. The same is also true for the upper tooth rows, which correspond in their morphology and dimensions to material of P. cadurcensis described by Hürzeler (1936) and Berger (1959). The general similarity of the morphological patterns and dimensions of the material reflect a degree of homogeneity despite the different ages of the studied material.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/581987E1FF96FF8523795D43FEE6FA71	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Caenotherium Filholi Lydekker; Hürzeler, p. 102.</p> <p>1937 Caenotherium commune aff. elegans Pomel; Dehm, p. 353.</p> <p>1959 Caenomeryx filholi (Lyddeker) Berger, 1959: 3.</p> <p>Holotype: Skull (BMNH M1399). Age and precise locality unknown (Old Quercy collections).</p> <p>Diagnosis: Diastema between P/1 and P/2 and between C and P1/. Premolars are not shortened. Premaxillo-frontal suture variably present. The ethmoidal slit is irregular. The mandible is high, massive and long (Berger, 1959).</p> <p>Referred material: Pech Crabit: two maxillary fragments, one with left P2/-M3/ (PCT 417), and one with right P3/-P4/ (PCT 390), two isolated left P3/ (PCT 392, PCT 418), 12 mandibular fragments, two with left P/2-P/4 (PCT 437, PCT 453), two with left P/2-M/1 (PCT 928, PCT 933), one with broken left P/2-M/2 (PCT 445), one with right P/2-P/3 (PCT 936), one with right P/3-M/3 (PCT 449), three with left P/3-P/4 (PCT 456, PCT 959, PCT 984), one with left P/3-M/2 (PCT 971), and one with right M/1-M/3 (PCT 299).</p> <p>A</p> <p>Measurements: See Table 6. For C. filholi, the Kolmogorov- Smirnov and Shapiro- Wilk tests confirm normality for P/3 from Pech Crabit (N = 10, K–S, d = 0.201 P&gt; 0.20, W = 0.928 P = 0.386, V = 6.18).</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Upper dentition: The material displays all the features that characterize the genus: the double-rooted P2/ is short. It has a wide lingual talon with a well developed lingual cusp. The P3/ is triangular and short. The median protocone is well developed, while the parastyle and the metastyle are prominent on the ectoloph (Fig. 4C).</p> <p>Lower dentition: The single-rooted P/1 is separated from P/2 by a diastema 3.3 mm long (ITD 944d). The median tubercle of P/2 is poorly developed, and the short P/3 displays a paraconid strongly carried towards the lingual side (Fig. 4D).</p> <p>Comparison: The material reported here represents a species that is larger than C. procommunis (Tables 5, 6) and similar to the Gaimersheim species (MP 28) C. filholi in its characters. Moreover, it is very similar to C. filholi forma b described by Berger (1959) in its upper teeth dimensions. However, the mandibular teeth are somewhat smaller.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>The older age of the Pech Crabit and Itardies localities (MP 23) might explain the size difference between the specimens from Pech Crabit and from Gaimersheim, although this does not justify the distinction of this form at the specific level. The C. filholi lineage may have evolved between MP23 and MP28 concurrently with C. procommunis. Nothing in the collection indicates the presence of Caenomeryx before MP22. I consider that the C. filholi lineage present near MP23 originated from that of P. cadurcensis because of numerous similar features. The presence of P. cadurcensis and C. filholi near MP23 contradicts the idea that these two species are present at chronologically distinct levels (Berger, 1959).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/581987E1FF9CFF9321025F7DFC6CFCE5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
