Holotype. A right mandibular fragment I/3-M/3 ( BSP 1879 XV201 ), locality of Mouillac in Quercy Phosphorites. Age and precise locality are unknown (Old Quercy collections).

Diagnosis. Species of the genus Paroxacron without diastema between P/2-P/3. The edge of the mandible is more strongly bent than in P. valdense . The angulus mandibulae is short, high and angular. It is limited by a short but strong incisura vasorum anteriorly. P/3

and P/4 have a more complete talonid and the internal wall of the lower molars is higher than in P. valdense ( Heissig, 1978) .
