The fossil springhares from the Miocene of the Orange River (Namibia) are well represented at Arrisdrift but there is only one specimen from older strata at Auchas Mine. At Arrisdrift it is known by dental and postcranial material which is comparable to the East African genus Megapedetes. Two new species are identified, a larger one Megapedetes gariepensis and a smaller one M. pickfordi (smaller by 25% than M. gariepensis) both of which are smaller than the type species M. pentadactylus from Kenya and Uganda. It is the first time that two species of Megapedetes have been found together in a single site.
