Rhinocerotidae Gray 1821 View in CoL , London Med. Repos., 15: 306.

Synonyms: Ceratorhinae Osborn 1896 ; Dicerorhinae Ringström 1924 ; Dicerinae Ringström 1924 .

Genera: 4 genera with 5 species:

Genus Ceratotherium Gray 1867 (1 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Dicerorhinus Gloger 1841 (1 species with 3 subspecies)

Genus Diceros Gray 1821 (1 species with 6 subspecies)

Genus Rhinoceros Linnaeus 1758 (2 species with 3 subspecies)

Discussion: Living species all allocated to nominate subfamily. Taxonomy and nomenclature revised by Rookmaaker (1983). The holotype of Zygomaturus diahotensis ( Guerin et al., 1981) , described as a zygomaturine diprotodontid from New Caledonia, seems to be a rhinoceros tooth, perhaps Rhinoceros sondaicus or Dicerorhinus sumatrensis ; see Rich et al. (1987), Guerin and Faure (1987).
