Anatolia has played a crucial role as a crossroads for the evolution of terrestrial mammals throughout the paleogeographic history of the Eurasian and African faunas. The fossil record of equids is significant in tracing intercontinental dispersal patterns by contributing to the evaluation of evolutionary processes and biochronological correlations. Systematic studies on fossil Equidae taxons contribute to elucidating the connections between their functional anatomies, age distributions, the paleoenvironments of faunas, and regional climate changes. The Hipparion taxon, known as the three-toed horses of the Late Miocene, was first observed in the early Vallesian in Anatolia and exhibited significant diversity, especially during the Turolian. In this context, studying Anatolian faunas is notable for understanding Eurasian Hipparion evolution and for Equidae systematic paleontology studies. Hippotherium brachypus is known as the large hipparionine species of the Turolian and was first reported from Pikermi. This paper discusses the presence of the Hippotherium brachypus and the paleoenvironments of regions based on the systematics of maxillary specimens as well as isolated series collected from the Late Miocene mammal localities of Muğla-Yatağan-Şerefköy (MN12), Uşak-Eşme-Kemiklitepe (MN11-12), and Kütahya-Bayat (MN11-12).

Anadolu, Avrasya ve Afrika faunalarının paleocoğrafik tarihi boyunca özellikle karasal memelilerin evrimi için önemli bir kavşak rolü oynamıştır. Fosil atların kaydı ise evrimsel süreçlerin ve biyokronolojik korelasyonların değerlendirilmesine katkıda bulunarak kıtalararası yayılım desenlerinin izlenmesinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Fosil Equidae örneklerinin üzerine yapılan sistematik çalışmalar, fonksiyonel anatomileri, yaş dağılımları, faunaların paleoekolojisi ile bölgesel iklim değişiklikleri arasındaki bağlantının aydınlatılmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Geç Miyosen dönemi 3 toynaklı atları olarak bilinen Hipparion taksonu Anadolu’da ilk kez Astrasiyen-Valesiyen sınırında görülmüş olup, daha sonra özellikle Turoliyen dönemde ciddi bir çeşitlilik sergilemiştir. Bu bağlamda, Avrasya Hipparion evriminin anlaşılmasında Anadolu faunalarının çalışılması, Equidae sistematik paleontoloji çalışmaları açısından dikkate değerdir. Hippotherium brachypus Turoliyen dönemin iri hipparionine türü olarak bilinmektedir ve bu tür ilk kez Hensel tarafından Pikermi’den raporlanmıştır. Bu makalede Batı Anadolu'daki Geç Miyosen dönem memeli lokaliteleri olan Muğla-Yatağan-Şerefköy (MN12), Uşak-Eşme-Kemiklitepe (MN11-12) ve Kütahya-Bayat (MN11-12) lokalitelerinden elde edilen maksiller diş serileri ve izole diş örneklerinin sistematik tayini sonucunda Hippotherium brachypus taksonunun varlığı ve bölgelerin paleoekolojisi tartışılacaktır.
