Abstract
Early Cretaceous mammals of Spain are known only from the Galve and Uña areas. They are of considerable importance when compared with other Early Cretaceous mammal assemblages, and are the only known assemblage from the Barremian. In this context, two new mammalian taxa from Poca, Galve (Teruel) are described: Lavocatia alfambrensisgen. nov., sp. nov. (Multituberculata) based upon P5, and Pocamus pepeluigen. nov., sp. nov. (Peramura) also based upon P5. Lavocatia, because of its similarity to Kielanodon, is assigned to the Paulchoffatiinae. It differs from known paulchoffatiine genera in having a large number of cusps (15), rather than eight or 10, which are arranged in three oblique, rather than longitudinal, rows. Pocamusis assigned to the Peramura. It generally resembles Peramus, from which it differs in having a third cusp interpreted as an incipient protocone.
