Octodontotherium grandis Ameghino

O. grandis Amegh., 1895, Bol. Inst. Geog. Argen., t. 15, p. 656.
O. grandis Amegh., 1897, Bol. Inst. Geog. Argen., t. 18, p. 505.

In addition to the above, Ameghino simply gives the following measurements:

First upper tooth, ant.-post. diam. 20 mm., trans. diam. 13 mm., height 80 mm.
First lower tooth, ant.-post. diam. 21 mm., trans. diam. 16 mm., height 80 mm.
Last lower tooth, ant.-post. diam. 28 mm., trans. diam. of ant. lobe 18 mm.
Last lower tooth, trans. diam. of post. lobe 16 mm., median diam. 7 mm.

Octodontotherium crassidens Ameghino

O. crassidens Amegh., 1897, Bol. Inst. Geog. Argen., t. 18, p. 505.

This second species is based on isolated teeth of larger size than the preceding, with measurements as follows:

Upper molar, ant.-post. diam. 26 mm., trans. diam. 18 mm.
Lower molar, ant.-post. diam. 26 mm., trans. diam. of ant. lobe
21 mm., trans. diam. of post. lobe 16 mm.
