Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. A. Remy 2017The type species “Propachynolophus gaudryi” is bracketed between two Propalaeotherium species, i.e. P. sudrei and the type-species P. isselanum (Figure 19). As a consequence, it should be assigned to Propalaeotherium, as suggested by Stehlin (1905, 1941), Savage et al. (1965) and according to my own morphological observations (see above), under the new combination Propalaeotherium gaudryi (Lemoine, 1891). Moreover, this species is remote from the monophyletic genus Pachynolophus, unlike the often accepted concept.
