The family Rhinocerotidae, also referred to as 'true rhinoceroses', is one of the multiple perissodactyl lineages that have independently evolved large body sizes, lophodonty (fully developed crests between dental cusps), a simplified anterior dentition, and molarization premolars. During last decades, descriptions novel fossil collections, update previously published ones, taxonomic reviews through cladistic analyses brought bear new, comprehensive perspective on group, significantly increasing its recorded deep-time diversity. This paper historical development study Rhinocerotidae in Iberian Peninsula, provides an up-to-date compendium regional rhinoceros record by gathering available references, presents updated framework. As result, 27 out more than 200 species described literature worldwide inhabited regionally ranging from Oligocene Late Pleistocene. Their systematics, stratigraphic, geographical ranges are detailed present article occurrences illustrated.

Pliocene rhinoceros’ bearing fossiliferous localities are very limited in Greece. The rhinocerotid from the locality of Allatini, near Thessaloniki presented here, has long been cited literature but never studied detail up to now. This taxon is represented by a single specimen, radius sub adult individual, which herein clarify its systematic position. Both morphological and metrical data suggest assignment genus Pliorhinus, more specifically species P. megarhinus. Pliorhinus megarhinus thrived Eurasia latest Miocene Late Pliocene, however records restricted so far few localities, mainly Italy France. first known occurrence Greece resulting slight enrichment local European Rinocerotidae record.
