Genus Eotragus Pilgrim, 1939

Type species: Eotragus clavatus (Gervais, 1850) (= Eotragus sansaniensis [Larlet, 1851]); middle Miocene ( MN 6), Sansan, France.

Emended diagnosis (modified from Solounias et al. 1995).— Small-sized bovids characterized by a horn core with an asymmetrical and triangular outline in lateral view. The anterior portion of the horn core base is thickened, making the latter appear relatively wide compared to its total height. In lateral view, the horn core is inclined posteriorly at about 40 o. The posterior edge is generally convex and the anterior edge concave, resulting in a slightly anteriorly curved longitudinal axis of the horn core. The cross section of the horn core is slightly oval, often associated with a weak anterior keel. The horn core inserts on a short pedicle located above the orbit, with the orbital rim protruding laterally beyond the position of the pedicle.

Geographic and stratigraphic range.—Old World continents, including Europe (Central Europe, France, and Spain), Africa? (Kenya), and Asia (Israel, Pakistan, Mongolia, China, and Thailand); early Miocene to early Pliocene.
