Abstract

The Suoidea from Gračanica in the Bugojno Basin (Bosnia and Herzegovina) are assigned to Choeromorus lemuroides (previously Taucanamo sansaniense) (Taucanaminae, Palaeochoeridae), Bunolistriodon latidens (Listriodontinae, Suidae), and Conohyus simorrensis (Tetraconodontinae, Suidae). These belong to three anagenetic lineages, known from Western Europe to Anatolia. The fossils from Gračanica and these lineages are described in detail. Biostratigraphic correlations in an area extending from Western Europe to Anatolia are proposed on the basis of these lineages. These correlations are consistent with known independent age estimates of the large mammal localities in the different areas. Because the Suoidea from Gračanica belong to groups which have suffered from recent taxonomic inflation, their systematics has been discussed for a correct classification.
