Abstract

Abstract The first finds of the fossil remains of the members of the genus Chodsigoa outside China are described from the Pleistocene of northern Vietnam. They are assigned to C. caovansunga Lunde, Musser et Son, 2003 (a maxillary fragment with A3–M3, an isolated M1, and a dentary with I1 and P4–M2) from the Middle Pleistocene of the Tham Hai cave (Lang Son Province) and C. hoffmanni Chen et al., 2017 (a maxillary fragment with P4–M2) from the Upper Pleistocene of the Lang Trang cave (Thanh Hoa Province). The described specimens are the first fossil finds of these species. They indicate that representatives of the genus Chodsigoa in Vietnam spread to the south much further in the Pleistocene than today.
