Hegetotherium is an extinct genus of mammals from the Early to Middle Miocene (Colhuehuapian-Colloncuran in the SALMA classification) of South America. Fossils of this genus have been found in the Cerro Bandera,^[1] Cerro Boleadoras,^[2] Chichinales,^[3]^[4] Collón Curá, Santa Cruz^[5]^[6] and Sarmiento Formations of Argentina, the Nazareno Formation of Bolivia,^[7] and the Galera^[8] and Río Frías Formations of Chile.

Taxonomy

Hegetotherium is currently restricted to the type species, H. mirable, of which H. convexum, H. anceps, H. minum and H. andinum are synonyms, but also H. cerdasensis. "Hegetotherium" arctum was formerly assigned to this genus, but is clearly not a member of Hegetotheriidae. "Hegetotherium" novum was formerly referred to the closely related genus Prohegetotherium, but is now considered generically distinct from that genus.^[9]^[10]
