''Sinotherium'' ("Chinese Beast") was a genus of single-horned rhinoceri of the late Miocene and Pliocene. It was ancestral to ''Elasmotherium'', and its fossils have been found in western China. ''Sinotherium'' diverged from the ancestral genus, ''Iranotherium'', first found in Iran, during the early Pliocene. Some experts prefer to lump ''Sinotherium'', and ''Iranotherium'' into ''Elasmotherium''. Its synonym, "''Paraelasmotherium''," is often used to refer to the Miocene specimens. ==External links== *"Elasmotherians- Evolution, Distribution, and Ecology" () *Mikko's Phylogeny Archive, "Rhinocerotidae: †Elasmotheriinae: †Elasmotheriini: †Elasmotheriina" () *''New Remains of Paraelasmotherium (Perissodactyla.
