''Victoriaceros'' is an extinct genus of elasmotheriine rhinoceros known from the Miocene of Maboko Island, Kenya. ==Discovery== ''Victoriaceros'' is known from the holotype, an almost perfectly preserved skull, which characterized mainly by the large nasal horn, an orbit located very anteriorly and with a prominent border, and very broad zygomatic arches. Numerous limb bones, probably belonging to only a few individuals, are also known. Specimens of ''Victoriaceros'' were collected in the middle Miocene site of Maboko located in Lake Victoria in Kenya, from the Maboko beds, dating to about 15 million years ago. ''Victoriaceros'' represents the most common taxon in the Maboko beds, which has yielded one of the best collections of rhinoceroses in Africa. Teeth and skull morphology suggest that ''Victoriaceros'' belongs to subfamily Elasmotheriinae, whose might be not monophyletic.〔
