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: It's not like the evolutionary processes driving these things are smart and can conspire to do anything.
gollark: How?
gollark: Did you know? Your tongue exists. Your eyes are sometimes blinking. Yawning is a thing which can occur.
gollark: Oops.
