- Genus †Hippopotamodon (Miocene to Pleistocene)
- Genus †Korynochoerus (Miocene to Pliocene)
- Genus †Microstonyx (Miocene)
- Genus Sus (Miocene to Recent)
- Tribe Potamochoerini
- Genus †Celebochoerus (Pliocene to Pleistocene)
- Genus Hylochoerus (Pleistocene to Recent)
- Genus †Kolpochoerus (Miocene to Pleistocene)
- Genus Potamochoerus (Miocene to Recent)
- Genus †Propotamochoerus (Miocene to Pliocene)
- Tribe †Hippohyini
- Genus †Hippohyus (Miocene to Pleistocene)
- Genus †Sinohyus (Miocene)
