Amphiprox is an extinct genus of early deer from the Miocene of Europe.[2]
Amphiprox anocerus was originally placed in the genus Cervus, along with many other early deer. It was related to other primitive deer like Euprox and Heteroprox and together these early forms represent the first major radiation of cervids.
