Haringtonhippus is named after Charles Richard Harington. [3] It was originally described as a new Equus species, E. francisci, in 1915. [1] Dalquest (1979) considered Equus tau Owen, 1869, described from teeth in Mexico, a senior synonym of E. francisci, [7] while Equus quinni and E. arrelanoi were synonymized with E. francisci by Winans (1989). [8]
This was confirmed in a genetic study done in 2017, which subsumed all the specimens into the species E. francisci which was placed outside all extant horse species in the new genus Haringtonhippus [19], although its placement as a separate genus was subsequently questioned. [20] A separate genus of horse, Hippidion existed in South America. [21]
The binomial name often reflects limited knowledge or hearsay about a species at the time it was named. For instance Pan troglodytes, the chimpanzee, and Troglodytes troglodytes, the wren, are not necessarily cave-dwellers. Sometimes a genus name or specific descriptor is simply the Latin or Greek name for the animal (e.g. Canis is Latin for ...
Genus: Hybomitra Enderlein, 1922 ... Therioplectes Verrall, 1909; Hybomitra is a genus of horse flies in the family Tabanidae. There are at least 240 described ...
Pangoniinae is a subfamily of horse-flies in the order Diptera, containing at seven tribes and over 40 genera. [2] [3] Insects in this subfamily are distinguished from other Tabanidae by possession of ocelli and the antennal flagellum usually has eight rings. [4]
Remains attributed to the species display a considerable range of morphological variability. [9] The species had a small body size, with adult individuals estimated to have a body mass of around 300–365 kilograms (661–805 lb), [3] with the mummy of an 8 year old adult male horse (the Selerikan mummy) having a height of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) at the withers.
Tabanus lineola, also known as the striped horse fly, is a species of biting horse-fly. It is known from the eastern coast of North America and the Gulf coast of Mexico. It is known from the eastern coast of North America and the Gulf coast of Mexico.
Equus semplicatus was a Pleistocene species of New World stilt-legged horse, [2] and considered the type species for the stilt legged horses, one of three lineages of equids within the Americas, [3] the other two being hippidionid and caballine horses. [4] Now extinct, Equus semiplicatus once inhabited North America. [5]
