Plagiodontia araeum Ray, 1964. Breviora, Mus. Comp. Zool., 203:2.

DISTRIBUTION: Hispaniola.
STATUS: Extinct.
SYNONYMS: stenocoronalis.
COMMENTS: Type description based on only left upper cheektooth (DP4). Subsequent fossil material collected in Haiti and deposited at the Florida Museum of Natural History includes complete cranial and dentary material, confirming the validity of this taxon. Hyperplagiodontia stenocoronalis of Rimoli (1976:34) is not distinct from P. araeum. A very large wide-toothed hutia.
