DESCRIPTION

In the upper molars, the extra ridges between the anteroloph and protoloph are long. The anterior

extra ridges are connected to the middle part of the anterior centroloph. Th e main ridges are merged in the protocone. In this, the FT 3/10 form differs from Myoglis ucrainicus Nesin & Kowalski, 1997 ( Nesin & Kowalski 1997) in which the main ridges of M1-2 are frequently not merged in the protocone region.

COMMENTS The morphology of these teeth is similar to that of the material described by Baudelot (1965), Engesser (1972) and Nemetshek & Mörs (2003) as Myoglis meini . This species is already known in three other Felsőtárkány localities, i.e. FT 3/2, FF 2/3 and FF 2/7, as described by Hír (2003, 2006). The material from the borehole Lövölde Square, Budapest, described by Kretzoi (1943) as “ Pentaglis földvárii ” should be included in this species.
