Taxonomic problems triggered the necessity of naming a new species for the TM anthracotheres, \u003ci\u003eLibycosaurus bahri\u003c/i\u003e sp. nov. The description of the craniodental remains and the analysis of their variability indicate a marked sexual dimorphism, most probably induced by sex differential growth, helping to reassess the specific diversity of \u003ci\u003eLibycosaurus\u003c/i\u003e and its main evolutionary trends in a phylogenetic perspective. The ecological niche occupied by the new species was also further characterized in its semiaquatic, behavioural, and dietary dimensions. On these grounds we suggest that Late Miocene environmental changes, particularly habitat opening and hydrographic network fragmentation related to increased aridity, played a major role in canalizing semi-aquatic specializations and the extinction of the last African anthracotheres, as well as other bothriodontines.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8C0AD4BD-952D-4A60-94B8-6F7A23332171","descriptionType":"Abstract"}],"geoLocations":[],"fundingReferences":[],"xml":"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","url":"https:
