Genus Listriodon VON MEYER, 1846
T y p e s p e c i e s. Listriodon splendens VON MEYER,
1846.
N o t e. Ameghino (1904) erected two species of Listriodon ( Listriodon bonaerensis , Listriodon tarijensis ) on the basis of suiform fossils from South America. There are some morphological resemblances between the specimens and Listriodon from Europe, but these are due to convergent evolution. The South American fossils belong to Platygonus , a Tayassuidae ( Gasparini et al. 2010).
