AB <p>Six species of bovids&nbsp;<span lang="EN-GB">are identified</span>based on the new collection done from the Late Miocene deposits in the vicinity of Mohal Pati, Punjab, Pakistan. The described specimens are allocated to&nbsp;<em>Prostrepsiceros vinayaki</em><span lang="EN-GB">,&nbsp;<em>Tragoportax</em><em>punjabicus</em>,&nbsp;</span>Genus indet. aff.&nbsp;<em>Eotragus</em>,&nbsp;<em>Pachyportax&nbsp;</em>sp.,&nbsp;<em>Kobus</em>&nbsp;sp., and Hypsodontinae indet. The stratigraphic range of&nbsp;<em>Prostrepsiceros vinayaki</em>&nbsp;is extended from the previously known age, that of the subfamily Hypsodontinae is extended to Dhok Pathan Formation; incisor of the genus&nbsp;<em>Kobus</em> is descried for the first time from the Siwalik Group. Also, we have commented on the recently done work on the bovid taxonomy and highlighted some of the problems present in the bovid taxonomy.</p>
