The order Tubulidentata Huxley, 1872, includes the only species of extant aardvark, Orycteropus afer (Pallas, 1766) and its fossil relatives, which count about 15 well-defined as well as lesser-known species, found in Europe, Africa and Asia (Lehmann 2004(Lehmann , 2006(Lehmann , 2009Pickford 2019). The extant species O. afer includes (doubtfully) up to 18 subspecies occurring in the sub-Saharan Africa (Lehmann 2006). ... ...
