摘要
Chalicothere fossils are rare in Chinese Neogene deposits.A new chalicothere species from the Linxia Basin of Gansu Province,Nestoritherium linxiaense sp.nov.,is described and studied in this paper.This species represents the most primitive Nestoritherium known.Based on this new species,the generic name Nestoritherium is revalidated and the species N.wuduense (Xue and Coombs,1985) is referred to this genus.Hesperotherium is nested within Nestoritherium.
