We update here our recent revision of the Kanapoi ruminants and describe recently collected material. We now regard the occurrence of reduncins as doubtful, we revise the identification of a large raphicerin as being more probably Gazella, and we add Gazella cf. janenschi and the Cephalophini to the faunal list. New material of Tragelaphus kyaloi suggests that this species held its head unlike other tragelaphins, and was not an exclusive dedicated browser, but Kanapoi pre-dates the Pliocene change of Sivatherium, Aepyceros, Alcelaphini, and even Tragelaphini toward more grazing diets. Kanapoi shares several ruminant taxa with sites in Ethiopia and Tanzania, attesting to latitudinal exchanges.
我们在这里更新了对 Kanapoi 反刍动物的最新修订,并描述了最近收集的材料。我们现在怀疑红色家族的出现是可疑的,我们修正了一种大型雷兽的鉴定,认为更可能是瞪羚,我们还将 Gazella cf. janenschi 和 Cephalophini 添加到动物群列表中。新的 Tragelaphus kyaloi 材料表明,这种物种与其他 tragellaphins 不同,它的头不是一直保持向上抬的姿势,而且它不是专门的食草动物,而是 Kanapoi 早于上新世 Sivatherium、Aepyceros、Alcelaphini,甚至 Tragelaphini 向更偏向于草食性饮食的转变。Kanapoi 与埃塞俄比亚和坦桑尼亚的几个地点共享几个反刍动物分类群,证明了纬度间的交流。
