The lower jaw and dental remains of the brush-tailed porcupine are described from the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary deposits of the Bud cave in northern Vietnam. In terms of the average length of the cheek teeth, this porcupine is somewhat larger than the modern Atherurus macrourus (Linnaeus, 1758), but slightly smaller than the Pleistocene A. karnuliensis Lydekker, 1886; relatively small incisors make it possible to assign the form from the Bud сave to A. macrourus. The finding is the first fossil record of this species in Vietnam.
来自越南北部 Bud 洞更新世-全新世边界沉积物中的刷尾豪猪的下颚和牙齿遗骸被描述。根据颊齿的平均长度，这种豪猪比现代的 Atherurus macrourus（Linnaeus，1758）略大，但比更新世的 A. karnuliensis Lydekker，1886 略小；相对较小的门齿使其有可能将 Bud 洞的形态归入 A. macrourus。这是该物种在越南的首次化石记录。
