摘要

New hipparionine remains from the type locality of the Dhok Pathan Formation are described here. The studied material consists of isolated dental elements originated from Siwalik type locality, known for the presence of Late Miocene mammalian remains. The described fossils show the morphological features of the Siwalik hipparionine and according to the results of the present work this material was assigned to two species Cremohipparion antelopinum and Sivalhippus perimensis. The Late Miocene Siwalik hipparionines are common, nevertheless these new findings seem to be significant contribution.
