Elomeryx is an extinct genus of artiodactyl ungulate, and is among the earliest known anthracotheres.The genus was extremely widespread, first being found in Asia in the middle Eocene, in Europe during the latest Eocene, and having spread to North America by the early Oligocene. [1]
Leptotheridium is an extinct genus of Palaeogene artiodactyl endemic to western Europe that lived from the Middle to Late Eocene.It was erected by the Swiss palaeontologist Hans Georg Stehlin in 1910 and contains the species L. lugeoni and L. traguloides.
Extinction of taxa is difficult to confirm, as a long gap without a sighting is not definitive, but before 1995 a threshold of 50 years without a sighting was used to declare extinction. [ 1 ] One study found that extinction from habitat loss is the hardest to detect, as this might only fragment populations to the point of concealment from humans.
Syndyoceras is a small extinct genus of Artiodactyla, of the family Protoceratidae, endemic to central North America from the Miocene epoch (24.8—20.6 Ma), existing for approximately [ 1 ] Taxonomy

All scholars agree, however, that the oreodont was an early form of even-toed ungulate, belonging to the order Artiodactyla. Today, most evidence points towards the oreodonts being tylopods, along with camels, xiphodonts, and protoceratids. [citation needed] Over 50 genera of Oreodonta have been described in the paleozoological literature.
Anthracotheriidae is a paraphyletic family of extinct, hippopotamus-like artiodactyl ungulates related to hippopotamuses and whales.The oldest genus, Elomeryx, first appeared during the middle Eocene in Asia.
Celebochoerus is an extinct genus of giant suid artiodactyl that existed during the Pliocene and Pleistocene in Sulawesi, Indonesia (Celebochoerus heekereni), [1] [2] and the middle Pleistocene of Luzon, in the Philippines (Celebochoerus cagayanensis).
