Abstract

Detailed description and taxonomic revision of rhinoceros remains from the locality Trlica near Pljevlja in Montenegro is presented, based on upper and lower jaw teeth morphology, preliminary first assigned to Dicerorhinus etruscus Falconer (Dimitrijević , 1990).

The replacement of the generic name Dicerorhinus by Stephanorhinus is accepted according to the nomenclature introduced by Kretzoi (1942), and the remains from Trlica assigned to Stephanorhinus cf. hundsheimensis (Toula, 1902) (=Dicerorhinus etruscus brachycephalus Schroeder, sensu Guerin, 1980, excluding type specimen).

This is the first find of this species remains in Montenegro and Yugoslavia, important for establishing stratigraphical position and age of Trlica deposits, placed now in the timespan of biozones 20-22, after Guerin’ Quatemary biozonation (Guerin, 1980).
