ABSTRACT

The new discovered material found from the Dhok Pathan type locality identifies two species of Hipparionine, Sivalhippus cf. theobaldi and Hipparion sp. The described material consists of the isolated upper cheek teeth and reflects all morphological features of Sivalhippus cf. theobaldi and Hipparion sp. Sivalhippus cf. theobaldi comprises two well preserved specimens and Hipparion sp. comprises four well preserved specimens. Sivalhippus cf. theobaldi is a large species with less complicated enamel plications whereas Hipparion sp. is moderate in size with more complicated enamel plications.

Keywords: Hipparion, Middle Siwaliks, Mammals, Dhok Pathan Formation.
