Bunolistriodon is an extinct genus of pig-like animals from Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene.
The exact position of Bunolistriodon has been subject to debate. It has been considered a synonym of Listriodon in the past, and sometimes still is. However, today most authorities recognize the genus as distinct.[1][2][3]
