            <p> Aztlanolagus agilis Russell and Harris, 1986</p>
            <p>Referred Specimens —See Appendix 1.</p>
            <p> Description —The p3s of  Aztlanolagus agilis are characterized by the presence of five reentrant folds (Fig. 4a; Russell and Harris 1986). No extant North American leporid retains this pattern, and among fossil taxa only  Nekrolagus is similar (Russell and Harris 1986). All specimens identified as  A. agilis exhibit a strongly developed anterointernal fold and a well-developed posterointernal fold (Fig. 4b) or lake. The presence of a strongly developed anterointernal fold on the p3 distinguishes  A. agilis from  Nekrolagus , in which the fold is less developed or absent (Russell and Harris 1986). The degree of crenulation within individual folds varies among individual specimens from Cathedral Cave. Table 1 summarizes the number of major crenulations in the anteroexternal reentrant, along the posterior wall of the posterointernal reentrant, and along the posterior wall of the posteroexternal reentrant. For specimens of  A. agilis from Cathedral Cave, the p3 average length is 2.40 mm (n = 25; SD = 0.23; range = 1.7–2.8) and average width is 2.29 mm (n = 25; SD = 0.34; range = 1.2–2.8). These are slightly larger than average measurements recorded by Winkler and Tomida (1988) for other localities in the southwestern United States. </p>
            <p> Discussion—  Aztlanolagus is known from Blancan to late Rancholabrean deposits in the western United States and Mexico. Records other than Cathedral Cave come from localities within Porcupine Cave, CO (Barnosky and Hopkins 2004, Baxter 2004), and localities in northern Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas (Russell and Harris 1986, Winkler and Tomida 1988). Although Winkler and Tomida (1988) tentatively referred all specimens that they examined to  A. agilis, Baxter (2004) reported Porcupine Cave specimens as  Aztlanolagus spp. because of variation in tooth size and crenulation patterns. </p>
            <p> Aztlanolagus might be synonymous with  Pliopentalagus , an extinct leporid known mostly from China that has five reentrant folds on the p3 (Tomida and Jin 2002, 2004). However, until the argument for synonymy is formalized,  Aztlanolagus should be retained. Taxonomic issues notwithstanding, the disappearance of  A. agilis is one of the few known late Quaternary small mammal extinctions in continental North America. </p>
            <p>  The records of  Aztlanolagus agilis from Cathedral Cave presented here represent its first known occurrence in the Great Basin. The only other specimen known from the Great Basin is unnumbered in bulk material from  Smith Creek Cave , Nevada, housed at the Nevada State Museum (Jass personal observation)  . </p>

            <p> Brachylagus coloradoensis Ramos 1999</p>
            <p>Referred Specimens —See Appendix 1.</p>
            <p> Description —The two specimens identified as  Brachylagus coloradoensis are similar to  B. idahoensis , but both have a weakly developed posterointernal reentrant and a posteroexternal reentrant that extends only between one-third and two-thirds across the tooth (Fig. 4d). As such, these specimens are consistent with those identified as  B. coloradoensis from Porcupine Cave (Ramos, 1999b). </p>
            <p> Discussion —Prior to this report,  B. coloradoensis was known only from several localities of Irvingtonian or unknown age within Porcupine Cave (Ramos 1999b, Barnosky 2004, Barnosky and Hopkins 2004, Baxter, 2004; age assignments from Barnosky et al. 2004). Its occurrence in Cathedral Cave extends both its geographic and chronologic ranges. </p>

            <p> Brachylagus idahoensis (Merriam, 1891)</p>
            <p>Referred Specimens —See Appendix 1.</p>
            <p> Description — Three specimens of  Brachylagus idahoensis were identified from Cathedral Cave (Fig. 4c). Two of the specimens retain simple anteroexternal reentrants and the trigonid and talonid are either completely (TMM 43693-1777), or nearly (TMM 43693-1776), separated by cementum. The extension of the anteroexternal folds across the tooth is characteristic of  B. idahoensis (Ramos 1999b) . Length and width of the p3s were: (TMM 43693-1777) - l = 1.8 mm, w = 1.6 mm; (43693-1776) - l = 1.8 mm, w = 1.8 mm. </p>
            <p> A third p 3 specimen (TMM 43693-1775) with a damaged occlusal surface that was also identified as  Brachylagus idahoensis is unique. In ventral view, it has a posteroexternal reentrant that extends across two-thirds of the tooth, but exhibits an enamel lake in the position of a posterointernal reentrant. Because the joining of the posteroexternal reentrant with the enamel lake would result in a morphology more similar to  B. idahoensis than  B. coloradoensis (see below), the specimen is identified as the former. Further review of variation in the p3 enamel patterns of  B. idahoensis is needed. </p>
            <p> Discussion—  Brachylagus is distinguished from most extant and fossil North American leporids by the lack of an anterior reentrant on the p3 (Kurtén and Anderson 1980, Ramos 1999a). The extinct genus  Hypolagus is similar in some qualitative aspects to an extinct form of  Brachylagus (  B. coloradoensis ) but is larger in size (Ramos 1999b). Until recently, the genus  Brachylagus was considered monotypic, with  B. idahoensis as the only recognized species (Ramos 1999b). </p>
            <p> Fossils of  Brachylagus idahoensis are known only from the western United States and most fall within or near the present distribution of the species (Kurtén and Anderson 1980). Exceptions are the records from Isleta Cave No. 2 and Sheep Camp Shelter in New Mexico (Harris 1993). The occurrence of  B. idahoensis at Cathedral Cave was previously noted by Ramos (1999b). </p>
