Pliocene rhinoceroses

species of mammal

Elasmotherium (from Ancient Greek ἔλασμα (élasma), meaning "metal plate" with the intended meaning "lamina" in reference to the tooth enamel, and θηρίον (theríon), meaning "beast") is an extinct genus of very large rhinoceros that lived in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and East Asia from the late Miocene through to the Late Pleistocene, until at least 39,000 years ago. It was the last surviving member of the subfamily Elasmotheriinae, a formerly diverse group of rhinoceroses separate from the subfamily Rhinocerotinae, that contains all living rhinoceroses.

Teleoceras is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid endemic to North America during the Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene). The name Teleoceras is derived from Greek: "perfect" (teleos) & "horn" (keratos).

Chilotherium, from Ancient Greek χείλος (cheílos), meaning "lip", and θηρίον (theríon), meaning "beast", is an extinct genus of rhinocerotids that lived in Africa and Eurasia during the Miocene through Pliocene living for 13.7—3.4 mya, existing for approximately .

Sinotherium ("Chinese Beast") is an extinct genus of single-horned elasmotheriine rhinocerotids that lived from the late Miocene (Tortonian - Messinian) to Early Pliocene. It was ancestral to Elasmotherium, demonstrating a very important evolutionary transition from nasal-horned elasmotheriines to frontal-horned elasmotheriines. Its fossils have been found in the Karabulak Formation of Kazakhstan, lower jaw and teeth have been found in Mongolia, and a partial skull is known from the upper part of the Liushu Formation of western China. Sinotherium diverged from the ancestral genus, Iranotherium

Coelodonta (, from the Ancient Greek κοῖλος (koîlos), meaning "hollow", and οδούς (odoús), meaning "tooth", in reference to the deep grooves of their molars) is an extinct genus of Eurasian rhinoceroses that lived from about 3.7 million years to 14,000 years ago, between the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. It is best known from the type species, the woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), which ranged throughout northern Eurasia during the Pleistocene. The earliest known species, Coelodonta thibetana, lived in Tibet during the Pliocene, with the genus spreading to the rest of Eurasia dur

Aphelops (Greek: "smooth" (apheles), "face" (ops), in a reference of lacking a horn) is an extinct genus of hornless rhinocerotids endemic to North America. It lived from the Middle Miocene to the Early Pliocene, during which it was a common component of North American mammalian faunas along with Teleoceras.

Alicornops is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid belonging to the subfamily Aceratheriinae. It lived in Eurasia during the Miocene and Pliocene.

Shansirhinus is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid endemic to China during the Miocene through Pliocene.

Pliorhinus is an extinct genus of rhinoceros known from the Late Miocene and Pliocene of Eurasia. The type species, Pliorhinus megarhinus, was previously assigned to Dihoplus.

Dihoplus is an extinct genus of rhinoceros that lived in Eurasia from the Late Miocene to Pliocene.
