Taxonomy
Danuvius guggenmosi was named by Bohme et al. (2019). Its type specimen is GPIT/MA/10000, a partial skeleton (partial left mandible with M1 and M2, partial left maxilla with P3–M2, isolated mandibular (left I1, P3; right P3, M2, M3) and maxillary teeth (right P3), first), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Hammerschmiede 5 channel, which is in a Tortonian channel lag gravel in Germany. It is the type species of Danuvius.

| M. Bohme et al. 2019 | Small hominid ranging in size from about 17 to 31 kg. The palate is narrow and deep with a thick palatine process; the maxilla is high, anteroposteriorly broad, with an anteriorly facing zygomatic root above the distal moiety of P4, maxillary sinus invaginating the zygomatic and alveolar processes, canine fossa deep and narrow, canine root alveolus vertically oriented; I1 mesiodistally narrow, high-crowned with a strong lingual pillar and mesial marginal ridge; postcanine dentition with strongly developed crista, P3 lacks the paraconule, molars are broad relative to the length with compressed trigons and thick enamel; mandibular corpus is low, robust with a prominent mandibular eminence and a broad extramolar sulcus; ulna has a straight shaft, moderately deep proximally, short olecranon, deep, strongly keeled, anteriorly oriented trochlear notch, large, laterally oriented radial notch, large head, short, non-articular styloid process; first metacarpal base strongly dorsopalmarly curved saddle-shaped joint; proximal hand phalanges are long, curved, with strongly developed flexor sheath ridges; femur head projects above the greater trochanter, extension of joint surface onto the superoposterior surface of femoral neck, neck compressed and strongly vertically oriented; tibia with broad proximal end, thickened metaphyses, mediolaterally concave condylar surfaces, lateral condyle anteroposteriorly flat, deeply incised and posteriorly oriented intercondylar notch, prominent intercondylar eminences, trochlear surface roughly square-shaped, strongly keeled, prominent malleolus deeply notched at its base with an anterolaterally expanded joint surface; patella with broad, flat joint surface; proxi-mal hallucal phalanx is large, robust at mid shaft, broad proximally, prominent flexor sheath ridges, strong lateral torsion of the distal end; first thoracic vertebra with short, divergent pedicles, strongly divergent zygapophyseal orientations, univertebral rib articulation; penultimate or antepenultimate diaphragmatic vertebra with a prominent metapophysis |
