Ozotoceros bezoarticus
Description
Ozotoceros bezoarticus (ZMB_MAM 2057)
This specimen, represented by a skull, is identifiable as male due to the presence of antlers (Fig. 8 b). The skull is complete, but the right M1 is missing and the premaxillae are broken (MTR = 67.4 mm; MDL = 72.12 mm; BB = 63.65 mm; NL = 81.6 mm). The writing on the skull reads “ San Paulo Sello.”
Typical of open grasslands, this species probably has been extirpated in São Paulo (Jackson 1987; Duarte & Vogliotti 2010). In this state, Natterer collected a male in Itararé (Pelzeln 1883) and Carvalho recoded the species in Águas de Santa Bárbara (Carvalho 1980). The locality is probably correct because the only area in São Paulo that Sellow visited and could have collected a specimen of O. bezoarticus, due to the presence of open grasslands (Borgonovi & Chiarini 1965), is in the vicinity Itararé.
