Hispanotherium was a genus of rhinoceros of the tribe Elasmotheriini endemic to Europe and Asia during the Miocene living from 16—7.25 mya existing for approximately 8.75 million years.[1]

Taxonomy[]

Hispanotherium was erected by Crusafont and Villalta (1947) for the nominal species "Rhinoceros" matritense.[2][3] The Asian form Huaqingtherium was once assigned to Hispanotherium, but was eventually recognized as distinct. [4][5][6]
