Hydaspitherium (Artiodactyla: Giraffidae) from the Dhok Pathan Formation of the Middle Siwaliks, Pakistan: new collection.

A few dental remains from the late Miocene localities of the Dhok Pathan Formation have been identified as belonging to Hydaspitherium cf. megacephalum. The collection comprises an upper premolar, several upper molars, part of a maxilla and part of a mandible. The analysis of the dental characters shows individual variations and contributes to the knowledge of the Siwalik late Miocene giraffids. The systematic status of the Siwalik species of Hydaspitherium has been reviewed.
