''Coelodonta'' (from the Greek "hollow tooth", in reference to the deep grooves of their molars) is an extinct genus of rhinoceros that lived in Eurasia between 3.7 million years to 10.000 years before the present, in the Pliocene and the Pleistocene epochs. == Species == Other species are recognised for ''Coelodonta'', following to Deng ''et al''. (2011), including: * ''Coelodonta thibetana'' (Deng et al. 2011): The most primitive species of the genus, inhabited the Thibetan Plateau in the Pliocene. * ''Coelodonta nihowanensis'' (Chow, 1978): A primitive species from northern China, it lived in the earliest Pleistocene.〔 * ''Coelodonta tologoijensis'' (Beliajeva, 1966): It appeared in the north of China 2 million years ago, spreading to Europe in the Middle Pleistocene, 470.000 years ago. Probably was the direct ancestor of the woolly rhinoceros.〔David Garcia Fernández & Juan Vicente i Castells.
