Amphiorycteropus (Latin for "near aardvark") is an extinct genus of mammals in the family Orycteropodidae within Tubulidentata. The genus is known from fossils dating from Middle Miocene to Early Pliocene, found in Africa, Asia and Europe.[1]
Species
[edit | edit source]Five species are recognized:[1]
- Amphiorycteropus abundulafus (Lehmann, Vignaud, Likius & Brunet, 2005) [2] - Late Miocene of Chad
- Amphiorycteropus mauritanicus (Arambourg, 1959) [3] - Late Miocene of Algeria
- Amphiorycteropus browni (Colbert, 1933) [4] - Middle to Late Miocene of Pakistan
- Amphiorycteropus depereti (Helbing, 1933) [5] - Early Pliocene of France
- Amphiorycteropus gaudryi (Major, 1888) [6] - Late Miocene of Greece and Turkey
Other two species are assigned to the genus provisionally until new material are found and confirm the relationship:[1]
- Amphiorycteropus pottieri (Ozansoy, 1965) [7] - Late Miocene of Turkey
- Amphiorycteropus seni (Tekkaya, 1993) [8] - Middle Miocene of Turkey
