Haringtonhippus is an extinct genus of equine from the Pleistocene of North America [2] The genus is monospecific, consisting of the species H. francisci, initially described in 1915 by Oliver Perry Hay as Equus francisci.

Jul 7, 2018 · Dalquest (1979) considered Equus francisci to be a synonym of Equus tau, and E. tau to be the only small, stilt-legged horse of the Pleistocene. He characterized it as the smallest of the North American Pleistocene horses.

Nov 28, 2017 · Now named Haringtonhippus francisci, this extinct species of North American horse appears to have diverged from the main trunk of the family tree leading to Equus some 4 to 6 million years ago. "The horse family, thanks to its rich and deep fossil record, has been a model system for understanding and teaching evolution.

We therefore propose a new genus, Haringtonhippus, for the sole species H. francisci. Our combined genomic and phenomic approach to resolving the systematics of extinct megafauna will allow for an improved understanding of the full extent of the terminal Pleistocene extinction event.

Dec 3, 2017 · Now named Haringtonhippus francisci, this extinct species appears to have diverged from the main trunk of the family tree leading to Equus some 4 to 6 million years ago.

Nov 30, 2017 · The “New World stilt-legged horse” has been identified not as a subspecies of Equus, but as an entirely separate genus, now named Haringtonhippus francisci.

Haringtonhippus is an extinct genus of stilt-legged horse from the Pleistocene of North America first described in 2017. The genus is monospecific, consisting of the species H. francisci, initially described in 1915 by Oliver Perry Hay as Equus francisci.

Mar 6, 2018 · H. francisci was a widespread and successful species throughout North America, living alongside Equus. Fossils of New World stilt-legged equids have been studied for more than a century, but it wasn't clear where they should be positioned within the family tree.

Nov 29, 2017 · The new findings show that Haringtonhippus francisci was a widespread and successful species throughout much of North America, living alongside populations of Equus but not interbreeding with them. In Canada’s North, Haringtonhippus survived until roughly 17,000 years ago, more than 19,000 years later than previously known from this region.
