status

 

The specially adapted genus Beremendia

occurs with two species in the Carpathian Basin. The bigger B. fissidens described by PETÉNYI (1864) and the smaller B. minor discovered by RZEBIK-KOWALSKA (1976) are well distinguished by size of the upper and lower molars. Separation was supported by the morphometric analysis made on the M 2 length and width of the two forms by BOTKA & MÉSZÁROS (2014 b). They emended the differential characters between the two species with some morphological characteristics, the most important one of which was in the third lower molar. B. fissidens has basined M 3 talonid with straight posterior margin (hypolophid) and the entoconid is lower than that one of the smaller species. Contrarily, B. minor has a more reduced, not basined M 3 talonid with rounded posterior margin and high entoconid.
