Bugtirhinus is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid of the subfamily Elasmotheriinae that lived during the Early Mocene in the Bugti Hills of what is now Pakistan.[1] It is the earliest known member of Elasmotheriina.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Bugtirhinus was named by Antoine and Welcomme (2000). Its type is Bugtirhinus praecursor. It was assigned to Elasmotheriini by Antoine and Welcomme (2000); and to Iranotheriinae by Guérin and Pickford (2003),[3][4] and to Elasmotheriinae by later publications.[2]
Description
[edit]Bugtirhinus was relatively small, around the size of the living Malayan tapir.[2]
