M a t e r i a l. dP4 sin, Volchaya Balka (bed 3).
C o m m e n t s. The deciduous premolar dP4 (19.5 × 17.3 mm) is generally larger than in Propotamochoerus , but similar to Microstonyx . The size and shape of the specimen coincide with those of Microstonyx major from Samos and Nikiti 1 ( Greece) ( Kostopoulos 1994). The widespread European species Microstonyx major is fairly widespread in the Late Miocene of Europe (MN 10 through MN 12) ( van der Made and Moya-Sola 1989, van der Made 1990).
