Hexameryx is an extinct monospecific genus of the artiodactyl family Antilocapridae endemic to North America, with its remains being found exclusively in Florida. However, possible remains have been unearthed in Louisiana. It lived during the Pliocene epoch 5.3—4.9 mya. It had six well-forked horns.[citation needed]
