“…A few millennia ago, the family Suidae was among the most ubiquitous families in the Siwaliks of the Indo-Pak region and was represented by a significant number of genera. This was due to the family's ability to produce a vast number of offspring (Mörs et al, 2019;Pickford and Obada, 2016;Spassov et al, 2018). However, despite the fact that many species from that time had a significant number of fossil records discovered over and over again, others had exhibited significantly fewer fossils that represented them.…”

New dental remains of the genus Listriodon (Mammalia, Suidae) have been found and described from the Lower to Middle Miocene Siwalik beds located around Hasnot, district Jhelum, Punjab, Pakistan. The present material consists of an isolated upper second premolar and a second molar of the upper left side. The presence of an advanced listriodont in Pakistan at an early stage provides valuable insights into the timing of the development of specific characteristics associated with lophodonty in Listriodontinae. Furthermore, it prompts significant inquiries into the early evolution of Listriodontinae in the Old World. The presence of significant physical resemblance between Listriodon guptai and Listriodon akatikubas, an African species discovered in the late early Miocene era, indicates a high likelihood that the latter species migrated from Asia. The provided specimens offer novel insights and supplementary details regarding the dental characteristics of Listriodon pentapotamiae, a species found in the Lower to Middle Siwaliks of Pakistan.

Background. Siwalik Hills, situated in Punjab, Pakistan, are highly fossiliferous and are well-known worldwide for vertebrate fossil excavations. Suids are even-toed ungulates. Their fossils have been reported in large numbers in the Siwalik region of northern Punjab and other parts of these hills. Method. To recover new fossils, a field survey was conducted from different geological formations visible around the Hasnot village of District Jhelum. Results. The recent findings and subsequent documentation of dental remains belonging to Propotamochoerus (Mammalia, Suidae) emerged from the Middle Miocene Siwalik beds in the surroundings of Hasnot. The recovered material consists of an isolated second molar on the right side of the maxilla. The genus Propotamochoerus comprised middle to large-sized suids. It provides significant insights into the essential dental traits of this particular genus. Conclusion. The recovered material has been assigned to the species Propotamochoerus hysudricus based on its morphological assessment. This particular substance can potentially augment the existing understanding of the species documented in the vicinity of the Salt Range of Siwalik Hills
