_Diagnosis._--Small Geomyinae; lacking specializations of more advanced tribes; upper incisors smooth, at least in _Pliosaccomys_; molariform teeth always rooted and having crowns of medium height; enamel investment of cheek teeth complete and uninterrupted in all stages of wear; crowns of molars primitively biprismatic, having two columns united at mid-points, thus forming narrow isthmus separating lateral re-entrant folds as in premolars, and, with wear, also uniting secondarily at protomeres (with exception of third lower molars), consequently, isolating remnant of that inflection as shallow fossette (columns uniting first at protomeres in _Pliosaccomys_); anterior and posterior columns of first and second molars, both above and below, becoming progressively united into one column in advanced Dikkomyini (early and middle Pliocene), but m3 (M3 unknown) retaining primitive biprismatic pattern, with columns joined at centers but never at protomeres (for details of dentition see generic accounts); mandible stout, its angle mostly above mandibular tooth-row; masseteric ridge low; basitemporal fossa barely discernable in some fragments of _Pliosaccomys_; postcranial skeleton unknown. Key to the Genera of the Tribe Dikkomyini A Molars biprismatic throughout life; anterior and posterior lophs of first and second molars in pre-final stages of wear uniting first at their mid-points and later at edge of protomeres; anterior lophid of lower premolar having distinct anteroexternal inflection. Genus _Dikkomys_ p. 516 A' First and second molars becoming monoprismatic in final (adult?) stages of wear, biprismatic only in pre-final stages of wear; third molars persistently biprismatic; anterior and posterior lophs of first and second molars uniting first at edge of protomeres; anterior lophid of lower premolar lacking anteroexternal inflection. Genus _Pliosaccomys_ p. 517 Genus =Dikkomys= Wood 1936. _Dikkomys_ Wood, Amer. Mus. Novit., 866:26, July 2. _Type._--_Dikkomys matthewi_ Wood, 1936, from Lower Harrison deposits near Agate, Sioux County, Nebraska. _Chronologic range._--Early Miocene, from early Arikareean (Lower Harrison local fauna of Nebraska) to middle Miocene, late Hemingfordian (Upper Rosebud local fauna, South Dakota, and the Deep River Formation, Montana). According to MacDonald (1963:149-150), the Upper Rosebud is middle Miocene rather than early Miocene.
