Undescribed suid specimens from the northern Sperrgebiet, Namibia, including cranial and mandibular material, throw additional light on the anatomy and affinities of the hitherto poorly known species Nguruwe namibensis. This species is smaller than Nguruwe kijivium and is likely to be older than it. The few post-cranial elements attributed to N. namibensis are typical of suids, and rather divergent from those assigned to sanitheres from the same sites, the bones of which are smaller and more gracile. Nguruwe could well be descended from European Aureliachoerus.
