Postcranial fossils belonging to a large species of anthracothere have been recovered from two localities in the Sperrgebiet, southwestern Namibia. There can be little doubt that the material belongs to the genus Brachyodus, which is widespread in African Early Miocene and basal Middle Miocene localities (22 - 16 Ma). The Namibian material represents a large species within the genus, and probably belongs to B. depéreti (Fourtau). There is evidence of a smaller suiform at Arrisdrift which may represent an anthracothere, but the material is too scanty for confident identification.
