FIG. 5 in A Multigene Phylogeny for Oecomys (Rodentia: Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) with Descriptions of New and Revalidated Taxa and a Partial Species-Group Classification

Description

FIG. 5. Ventrolateral cranial views of Oecomys hiceae (A, TTU 101036) and O. paricola (B, USNM 461389). A bony strut of the alisphenoid (als) separates the buccinator-masticatory foramen (bmf) from the foramen ovale accessorius (foa) in most specimens of O. hiceae, whereas the alisphenoid strut is consistently absent and the buccinator-masticatory and accessory oval foramina are confluent in O. paricola. Additionally, the hamular process of the squamosal (hp) is typically short and broad in O. hiceae, reducing the subsquamosal fenestra (ssf) to a small opening; by contrast, the hamular process is usually long and slender, and the subsquamosal fenestra is usually larger in O. paricola.
