Anthracokeryx is a genus of extinct artiodactyl ungulate mammal belonging to Anthracotheriidae that lived in Asia during the middle to late Eocene.

Taxonomy

Anthracokeryx was treated as a junior synonym of Anthracotherium by Tsubamoto et al. (2002) based on similarities in dental morphology.[1] However, other authors have rejected the synonymy and recognized Anthracokeryx as a distinct form in the subfamily Microbunodontinae.[2][3][4]

Distribution

Fossils of Anthracokeryx are known from China, Myanmar, and Vietnam.[1]
