Glypturus aff. G. toulai ( Rathbun, 1919)

2013 Glypturus toulai (Rathbun) ; Hy̆zńy et al.: 132, fig. 6.

Remarks. Hy̆zńy et al. (2013) ascribed specimens from the lower Miocene Culebra Formation in Panama to G. toulai based on the extent of the tuberculation on the propodus. The limited number of specimens and their inadequate preservation does not allow rigorous bi- and multivariate analyses to reassess their placement. One possible difference with G. toulai from the upper Miocene Gatun Formation in Panama is the extent of the tubercles on the inner side of the propodus (Hy̆zńy et al. 2013, fig. 6). Also given the long interval between deposition of the Gatun and Culebra formations (~10 Ma, see Coates 1999; Kirby et al. 2008) relative to the other, younger species its ascription to G. toulai must be regarded as preliminary. Therefore, we herein propose the more conservative Glypturus aff. G. toulai until more material is studied.
