Sanitheres are poorly understood suiforms of small body size. Recent advances in knowledge have been made, especially regarding their postcranial skeleton, but, apart from dento-gnathic remains, the cranium remains incompletely known. Field work in the Middle Miocene Aka Aiteputh Formation, near Baragoi, Kenya, has resulted in the recovery of a snout and a crushed neurocranium of Diamantohyus nadirus which throw a great deal of light on the systematic affinities of the sanitheres, but do not completely resolve their phylogenetic status.
