Kolpochoerus shares with Hylochoerus a stout mandible with great width across the canines, only modest constriction behind them, and inflation of the corpus lateral to P4, narrowing again fairly abruptly opposite the middle of M3.

Kolpochoerus shares with Hylochoerus a stout mandible with great width across the canines, only modest constriction behind them, and inflation of the corpus lateral to P4, narrowing again fairly abruptly opposite the middle of M3. In Hylochoerus the mandible of the female is a little less robust than in the male but the differences are slight. In the forest hog the breadth across the canines is about the same as the length of the symphysis—relatively slightly narrower in females—whereas in Kolpochoerus limnetes the symphysis is longer than the breadth across the canines. In the forest hog the back of the symphysis lies well in front of the anterior premolar and the gap between it and the back of the canine is about equal to the sum of the lengths of the three molars; in 'typical' K. limnetes the symphysis begins about level with the anterior premolar and the gap is about as long as the third molar, or a little longer. In the forest hog the.
