Leptobos

TL;DR: The revision of all bone and tooth remains of large bovids from the site of Venta Micena shows that two species of buffaloes are present at this Early Pleistocene locality, clearly a form of Bison, while the other corresponds to other different Bovini of small size that may be ascribed to the genus of Indian origin Hemibos, thus representing the first record of this genus in the Late Villafranchian of Europe.

TL;DR: A new species, Bos buiaensis, from Buia, Eritrea is described, which shows a combination of primitive characters of the African Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene form Pelorovis sensu stricto and derived characters of B. primigenius.

TL;DR: The taxonomic status of the earliest stouter bison and their relationships to their putative ancestor, Leptobos, as well as other primitive forms traditionally referred to subgenus Bison (Eobison) are discussed in this article.
