Abstract
The rhinocerotid remains from the Middle Miocene site of La Retama (Cuenca, Spain) are described. They have been identified as Hispanotherium matritense and compared with other known material of this species. Among the studied bones the humerus and femur can be detached since, up to now, they are the first well preserved ones of H. matritense. That increases the knowledge of the limb proportions of that species which correspond to a running- mediportal locomotor type, with long first and second segments. The presence of H. matritense in the faunal assemblage of La Retama implies a Middle Aragonian age and supports, together with other faunal elements, the younger age of La Retama with regard to the geographically near site of Loranca.
