Xaymaca fulvopulvis MacPhee & Flemming, 2003: 16

Holotype: AMNH M-268011, left hemimandible retaining the incisor (presumptive i1) and excessively worn p4, collected by Ross MacPhee, Lisa DeNault, Don McFarlane, and Alan and Adam Fincham in January 1995.
Type locality and horizon: “Brown Dust Passage of Drum Cave, near Entrance #3. Drum Cave, part of the "upper" sequence of the 10 km Jackson's Bay cave system, is located on the south slope of Portland Ridge near Jackson's Bay, in the southernmost part of Clarendon Parish, Jamaica. Entrance #3 is located at approximately 17°44'05"N, 77°13'15"W. ... Thus although there is some uncertainty about the exact position of the holotype within Pit 2, its age can be fixed as lying between 10,090–11,420 BP (2 sigma error), or the terminal part of the late Pleistocene”.
