Abstract
ABSTRACT Here we describe a few cheek teeth and mandibular remains of a Pleistocene rhinocerotid from the Matsugae Cave in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, western Japan. Previously, these remains had been identified as Dicerorhinus cf. nipponicus or Dicerorhinus sp. The present study redescribes and identifies them as belonging to Stephanorhinus sp. indet., like several other Japanese middle Pleistocene rhinocerotid remains. The present and other studies suggest that this genus reached Far East Asia during the middle Pleistocene. Stephanorhinus sp. from the Matsugae Cave would have migrated from northern China in 0.43 Ma as a member of the group of terrestrial mammals found in the cave.
