Middle Miocene suids from Chinji formation of Chabbar Syedan, Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract

Listriodon pentapotamiae, Conohyus sindiensis and Propotamchoerus sp. described in this article, have been recovered from a long neglected Middle Miocene locality of Chabbar Syedan, Jhelum district, Punjab, Pakistan. The lower deciduous incisor (di1) of L. pentapotamiae has been described for the first time from the Siwalik Group. The newly discovered remains are fruitful to understand the fauna of this Middle Miocene locality and excavated material expands our anatomical knowledge about the recorded species.
