Taxonomy
Prohegetotherium comprises three species, P. sculptum, P. schiaffinoi, and P. malalhuense.[1] Although Prohegetotherium shumwayi and P. crassus have long been synonymized with P. sculptum, Kramarz and Bond (2017) restricted P. sculptum to the holotype, rejecting the synonymy.[2]
gollark: *Would* you notice? That seems to assume some things.
gollark: How?!
gollark: What if 50% in one Planck time and 50% in the next one?
gollark: Is there such a thing as "different ones" if they have the same configuration though?
gollark: There's no convenient history marker on the particles.
