Samotragus pilgrimi n. sp., a new species of Oiocerini (Bovidae, Mammalia) from the Middle Miocene of Spain

A new Oiocerini, Samotragus pilgrimi n. sp., from the Middle Miocene of Spain is described. This medium sized bovid is characterized by large, massive, inverse-twisted horn cores with an abrupt narrowing of the section at mid-length. These features allow the inclusion of this form within the genus Samotragus. To date, this form is the earliest and westernmost record of this tribe.
