Abstract
The Uintan Leptotomus mytonensis Wood is transferred to the genus Mytonomys Wood, and the Duchesnean Leptotomus kayi Burke is synonymized with M. robustus (Peterson). Thus, two species of Mytonomys are recognized here from the Uinta Formation, Utah. Comparison of Mytonomys and European ailuravines with the problematical Eocene genus Eohaplomys Stock from California suggests that the latter may be included within the Ailuravinae based on dental characters.Keywords
