- Abstract
The re-discovery of the type material of Conohyus simorrensis and Parachleuastochoerus valentini prompted a revision of European tetraconodonts which led to more precise definitions of these taxa, and revealed that there were two additional genera of the subfamily represented in the European fossil record, Retroporcus (type species R. complutensis) and Versoporcus (type species V. steinheimensis). Continued research on European tetraconodont fossils housed in various European museums has resulted in a certain amount of reallocation of specimens previously attributed to Hyotherium, Propotamochoerus, and Conohyus. This article reviews tetraconodont material from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Turkey and includes some undescribed specimens from Spain, focussing on their biostratigraphic implications.
