Appendix S1. A complete list of fossils, assessed teeth, and collection numbers.
The taxonomic framework follows specifically published assignments and/or collection labels. Abbreviations: B, both; r, right tooth; l, left tooth.
Appendix S2. List of characters used in the cladistic analysis: discrete (13 characters), continuous (20 characters), and landmark configurations (19 characters; see Appendix S3).
Appendix S3. Landmark configurations used in the phylogenetic analysis.
Corresponding numbers and definitions are indicated for each landmark or series of semi-landmark. Asterisks (*) denote type I landmarks (sensu Bookstein 1991). See Figures 1 and 2 for illustrations.
Appendix S4. Complete data matrix used for phylogenetic analyses. (Downloaded 4 times )
Note that unidimensional continuous characters correspond to the raw values of the centroid sizes and the logarithms of the ratios (whose range was shifted to match a minimum of zero). Our analyses were conducted after rescaling them to vary between 0 and 1 (TNT command nstates stand 1)

Fig. S1. Most parsimonious specimen-level cladogram of Mesotheriidae using isolated upper dentition.
Type specimens are in bold. Note that there are cases where the holotype specimens of different taxa have been recovered closely related, while specimens assigned to the same taxa appeared in distant positions. The capital letters indicate well-supported nodes with Jackknife value ≥ 50 (except a few nodes). Small black arrows indicate Jackknife values = 45-50. Mesotheriidae, dashed square; Archaeohyracidae, violet; trachytheriines, green; basal Mesotheriinae stem-specimens, black; Bolivarini, orange; Pampaini, red; Pleistocene specimens within Pampaini, blue. Chronostratigraphic calibration of the resulting trees was based on the temporal occurrence of each specimen (taken from articles and/or collection labels; see Appendix S1).

Fig. S2. Most parsimonious specimen-level cladogram of Mesotheriidae using isolated lower dentition.
Type specimens are in bold. Note that there are cases where the holotype specimens of different taxa have been recovered closely related, while specimens assigned to the same taxa appeared in distant topologies. The lowercase letters indicate well-supported nodes (except nodes d and e). Mesotheriidae, dashed square; Archaeohyracidae, violet; trachytheriines, green; basal Mesotheriinae stem-specimens, black; Bolivarini, orange; Pampaini, red; Pleistocene specimens within Pampaini, blue. Chronostratigraphic calibration of the resulting trees was based on the temporal occurrence of each specimen (taken from articles and/or collection labels; see Appendix S1).
