| Taxonomic list comments:revision of material described by Pilgrim (1912), who describe the following from the Dera Bugti area: Cadurcotherium indicum from "Khajuri nala" (southwest of Dera Bugti); Anthracotherium bugtiense (holotype) from "forty km north-east of Dera Bugti"; Pterodon bugtiensis (reID Hyainolouros bugtiensis) from "Kumbi" (in the Dera Bugti valley proper, to the north); and Anthracotherium silistrense (ID of Pickford 1987) from "Kumbi"
also, Forster-Cooper (1924) described Anthracotherium ingens specimens from "Dera Bugti" variously reIDed as "probably" Megalochoerus humungous and Parabrachyodus hyopotamoides | |
