Abstract
Reanalysis of artiodactyl material from the late middle Eocene Pondaun g sandstones of Burma indicates the presence of a new genus assignable to the Helohyidae. A single specimen, previously described as an anth racotheriid and placed in the genus Anthracokeryx, is described below as Pakkokuhyus, n. gen. Pakkokuhyus, n. gen., represents the most sout herly occurrence of the family Helohyidae. The new Burmese genus also has resemblances to the putative raoellid Haqueina from the early or m iddle Eocene of Pakistan.
