The microbunodontines were an extinct subfamily of anthracotheres that were predominately a Paleogene group of Eurasian artiodactyls. The group died out at the end of the Late Miocene. It is composed of the genera Anthracokeryx, Geniokeryx, Garobunodon, Microbunodon, Oligokeryx and possibly Etruscotherium.[3][4][5][6][7] They differ from the other anthracothere taxa by their smaller size, slenderer limbs and male specimens having laterally compressed andlonger canines. They were originally classified as members of the other subfamily of anthracotheres, Anthracotheriinae but recent phylogenetic studies have found them to be their own clade which is sister to Bothriodontinae.[1][2]
