Anthracokeryx

Anthracokeryx is a genus of extinct artiodactyl ungulate mammal belonging to Anthracotheriidae that lived in Asia during the middle to late Eocene.

Anthracokeryx was treated as a junior synonym of Anthracotherium by Tsubamoto et al. (2002) based on similarities in dental morphology.

[1] However, other authors have rejected the synonymy and recognized Anthracokeryx as a distinct form in the subfamily Microbunodontinae.

[2][3][4] Fossils of Anthracokeryx are known from China, Myanmar, and Vietnam.
