Prohegetotherium is an extinct genus of mammals from the Late Oligocene (Deseadan in the SALMA classification) of the Agua de la Piedra, & of Argentina, the of Bolivia, and of Uruguay.^[1]

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]
