摘要
Several Pleistocene hippopotamid remains have been collected from the Italian Peninsula, but some of them lack any stratigraphic data or details about the fossil localities. The Hippopotamus was present in Italy and Western Europe from the latest Villafranchian (late Early Pleistocene), whereas the oldest records of the genus (Coste San Giacomo and Chiusi basin) need to be confirmed by further evidence. Hippopotamus antiquus is recorded from Italy until MIS 15, whereas H. amphibius is first known from the late Middle Pleistocene (MIS 13 or 11) and survived in Southern Italy until MIS 4/3.
