Dicerorhinus

Dicerorhinus is a genus of the family Rhinocerotidae, consisting of a single extant species, the two-horned Sumatran rhinoceros, and several extinct species. The genus likely originated from the Late Miocene of central Myanmar. Many species previously placed in this genus probably belong elsewhere.

Taxonomy
Species provisionally considered valid include: • †Dicerorhinus fusuiensis originally described as Rhinoceros fusuiensis Early Pleistocene, South China. • †Dicerorhinus gwebinensis Zin-Maung-Maung-Thein et al., 2008 Known from a skull of Pliocene-Early Pleistocene age found in Myanmar. Some authors have considered the skull not distinguishable from that of D. sumatrensis. Historically, Dicerorhinus was a wastebasket taxon. Revisions by several authors over the years have removed many species: 'Transferred to Stephanorhinus''' (synonym of Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis'') 'Transferred to Dihoplus''''' • Dicerorhinus megarhinusDicerorhinus schleiermacheriDicerorhinus ringstroemi 'Transferred to Caementodon''''' • Dicerorhinus caucasicus 'Transferred to Lartetotherium''''' • Dicerorhinus sansaniensisDicerorhinus cixianensis Chen and Wu, 1976 'Transferred to Rusingaceros''''' • Dicerorhinus leakeyi Placement of the Sumatran rhinoceros among recent and subfossil rhinoceros species based on nuclear genomes (Liu, 2021)|style=font-size:100%;line-height:80%}} Bayesian morphological phylogeny (Pandolfi, 2023) Note: This excludes living African rhinoceros species. == References ==
