Abstract
Pachyportax is a well-known representative of the Late Miocene bovids in the
Siwalik Group. The new fossils were collected from different localities of the
Middle Siwalik of Pakistan of Late Miocene-Early Pliocene ages (7.0-3.5 Ma). The
fossiliferous sites are situated in district Jhelum near well-known villages the
Hasnot and the Padhri. The newly recovered fossils comprise isolated molars and
premolars. The studied dental material was identified based on the morphological
and metrical characters and assigned to Pachyportax latidens.
