mesohippus's Usage Examples:

Mesohippus and Miohippus are connected with the earliest and most primitive mammal which it is possible to include in the family Equidae by means of Epihippus of the Uinta or Upper Eocene of North America, and Pachynolophus, or Orohippus, of the Middle and Lower Eocene of both halves of the northern hemisphere.

By some writers all the species of Mesohippus are included in the genus Miohippus, but others consider that the two genera are distinct.
