The earliest Vallesian (~11.2 Ma) site of Castell de Barberà (CB) figures prominently in the paleoanthropological literature because of the co-occurrence of pliopithecoid and hominoid primates. However, the rest of the fauna remains understudied. In the case of suids, fossils of Albanohyus castellensis and Listriodon splendens have been described in detail, but those of suines and tetraconodontines need revision. Here, we describe more than 200 remains (both published and unpublished) of these suid subfamilies from CB, including mostly isolated teeth and some dentognathic fragments, to justify their taxonomic attribution. We conclude that CB records the suine Propotamochoerus palaeochoerus and the tetraconodontines Parachleuastochoerus valentini and Versoporcus steinheimensis—contrasting with previous reports that the latter was the only large tetraconodontine present there. The remains of Pa. valentini confirm the distinctiveness of this species and reinforce the contention that it is not a junior synonym of Conohyus simorrensis, while those of Versoporcus lead us to conclude that Versoporcus grivensis is a junior subjective synonym of V. steinheimensis. We further conclude that many remains previously included in Conohyus doati belong instead to Pa. valentini, although the species is considered a nomen dubium because its lectotype might belong to either Conohyus or Versoporcus.

四齿兽类和猪科动物(偶蹄目:猪科)出自巴伯拉堡(伊比利亚半岛东北部瓦莱斯-佩内德斯盆地)最早的瓦勒西亚遗址

由于上古猿和类人灵长类动物的共存,最早的巴贝拉城堡 (CB) 遗址在古人类学文献中占有重要地位,因此最早的瓦莱西亚 (~11.2 Ma) 遗址。然而,其余的动物群仍未得到充分研究。就猪科动物而言,已详细描述了AlbanohyuscastellensisListriodon splendens的化石,但猪科动物和四角齿兽科的化石需要修订。在这里,我们描述了来自 CB 的这些猪亚科的 200 多具遗骸(包括已发表的和未发表的),包括大部分孤立的牙齿和一些牙颌碎片,以证明它们的分类学归属。我们得出的结论是,CB 记录了猪Propotamochoerus palaeochoerus和四角齿鱼Parachleuastochoerus valentiniVersoporcus steinheimensis,而之前的报道称后者是那里唯一存在的大型四角齿鱼。Pa. valentini的遗骸证实了该物种的独特性,并强化了它不是Conohyus simorrensis的初级同义词的论点,而Versoporcus的遗骸则让我们得出结论,Versoporcus grivensis是V. steinheimensis的初级主观同义词。我们进一步得出结论,许多先前包含在Conohyus doati中的遗骸属于Pa. valentini,尽管该物种被认为是 nomen dubium,因为它的选型可能属于ConohyusVersoporcus
