Reevaluation of The Phylogeny and Taxonomy of The Asian Fossil Hippopotamuses Thaung Htike Takai, Masanaru The Phylogeny of Hexaprotodon (Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Hippopotamidae) was reevaluated by using parsimony analysis. Hex iravaticus is the most primitive lineage of the Asian hippos, situated at the base of Hexaprotodon clade. Hex sivalensis and small-sized Hex. palaeindicus of Myanmar remained in the primitive morphological stageswhich are quite distinct from Indian and Javan forms. The cladistic analyses strongly suggest that the size variation seen in south Asian and Southern Asian taxa is interpreted as an interspecies variation rather than interspecific difference. 2015 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000002640 https://meral.edu.mm/records/2640
