Abstract

The suid from Grytsiv (= Gritsev) in Ukraine belongs to the genus Propotamochoe· rus. This genus was not yet known from the Miocene of eastem Europe. The Grytsiv suid is described and its significance is discussed within the palaeobiogeographical and stratigraphical framework of the genus Propotamochoerus. Grytsiv is geographically situated between three areas with different species of the genus: W Europe (P. palaeo· choerus), China (P. hyotherioides) and the Indian Subcontinent (P. hysudricus). In Euro· pe, P. palaeochoerus is replaced at the MN 9·10 boundary or early in MN 10 by a diffe· rent species of Propotamochoerus with affinities with P. hyotherioides or P. hysudricus. The fossils from Grytsiv extend the known range of P. palaeochoerus eastward into Ukraine. Key words: Propotamochoerus, Suidae, Mammalia, Vallesian, Miocene, Ukraine. RESUMEN El suido de Grytsiv (= Gritsev) en Ucrania pertenece al género Propotamochoerus.Este género todavía no se conocía en el Mioceno de Europa oriental. Se describe el suido de Grytsiv y se discute su significado dentro del marco paleobiogeográfico y estratigráfi· co del género Propotamochoerus. Grytsiv está situado entre tres áreas con diferentes especies del género: Europa occidental (P. palaeochoerus), China (P. hyotherioides), y el Subcontinente Indio (P. hysudricus). En Europa, P. palaeochoerus fue substituido en la transición MN9·1O o a MNlO por una especie distinta de Propotamochoerus con afi· nidades con P. hyotherioides o P. hysudricus. Los fósiles de Grytsiv extienden su distri· bución geográfica conocida de P. palaeochoerus por el este hasta Ucrania.

“…provincialis, and Pr. wui (Hünermann, 1968;Schmidt-Kittler, 1971;Pickford, 1988Pickford, , 2013Van der Made and Moyà-Solà, 1989;Van der Made and Han, 1994;Fortelius et al, 1996a;Van der Made et al, 1999;Geraads et al, 2008;Sein et al, 2009;Hou et al, 2019;Iannucci et al, 2021). Isolated teeth of these species are of similar morphology and partly overlap in size, and hence they are often difficult to identify.…”
