Museo di Geologia e Paleontologia Université degli Studi di Firenze Via G. La Pira, 4 - 50121, Firenze aut Suids of the early villafranchian of villafranca d'asti and china [Elektronische Daten] [A. Azzaroli] Suidi del Villafranchiano inferiore di Villafranca d'Asti e della Cina Remains of early Villafranchian suids from the type area of Villafranca d'Asti, N. Italy, and a fine skull from the early Pliocene of Shanxi province, China, are described. All specimens are referred toSus minor on the basis of their cranial and dental features. Other fossils of the same species from Southern France, Central Italy and Georgia are also discussed. These fossils confirm the close relationship ofS. minor with the middle and late VillafranchianS. strozzii of Europe and with the livingS. verrucosus andS. celebensis of SE Asia. All these species represent a lineage which dispersed widely over Eurasia in the Pliocene and early Pleistocene. It is proposed to resume for them the subgenus nameDasychoerus proposed by Gray in 1873, in order to stress their mutual phyletic affinities and at the same time their independence from the lineage of the livingS. scrofa, from which they had already diverged in the early Pliocene.
