About Bugtitherium
Bugtitherium is an extinct genus of anthracothere found in late Oligocene (Chattian) deposits in the Bugti Hills of Balochistan, Pakistan.
Incisor teeth that Pilgrim (1908) referred to Bugtitherium were recognized as instead belonging to the giant paraceratheriid Paraceratherium.
