*Ungulate species whose major biogeographic pattern inferred from phylogeographic data is found in eastern Africa coinciding with that of the hippopotamus.

**Finding in hippopotamus in Zambia initially reported as Fasciola sp. and later ascribed to F. gigantica by Round in 1968 (101) still remains a question mark.
