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: Well, if it worked like rph mode where you could only set it *before* installing it might work?
gollark: Anyway, if you can't make a computer factorize a number for you can you really meaningfully participate in the modern economy, I ask you?
gollark: Asking a random amount would also not prevent that.
gollark: Asking twice would NOT prevent that.
