Subfamilia Gomphotheriinae Hay, 1922 † - 00634

Genus Gomphotherium Burmeister, 1837 (Род Гомфотерий) - "Welded Beast" (En) †

 
Gomphotherium sp. (!"Mastodon", "Mastodonte" on stamps) - Гомфотериум (Ru) - Гомфотерий (Ru) - Гомфотер (Ru) †

[Mastodonts from Mongolia have been presented in the past by ALEKSEYEVA (1959, 1971), BELYAEVA (1952), DUBROVO (1970, 1974, 1976), KUBIAK (1968), and OSBORN
(1924); Zygolophodon gromovae (DUBROVO, 1970), Serridentinus gobiensis Osborn and Granger, 1932, Serridentinus mongoliensis Osborn 1924, Serridentinus tologojensis
BELYAEVA, 1952, Tetralophodon sinensis (KOKEN, 1885), T. aff. sinensis were determined from Miocene deposits, Mammut borsoni and Anancus sinensis from Pliocene
sediments. But later the systematic identity of most of these taxa has changed; S. gobiensis was allocated to Zygolophodon (CHOW & CHANG 1961, TOBIEN et al. 1988) and
finally Z. gromovae was incorporated into its synonymy (TOBIEN, 1996). The species S. tologojensis, which type locality is Ulaan Tologoi, was first referred to Gomphotherium
(see SAVAGE & RUSSELL 1983) but more recent was only accepted as Gomphotherium sp. or Platybelodon sp. (SHOSHANI & TASSY 1996: 370). The genus Serridentinus OSBORN
1923 is not in usage anymore and was synonymized with Gomphotherium (see SHOSHANI & TASSY 1996: 349f, appendix A). Thus, S. mongoliensis , described from the Loh
locality by OSBORN (1924), became Gomphotherium mongoliense, but is still a taxon of incertae sedis (SHOSHANI & TASSY 1996: 356, appendix C).
Following these systematic changes the taxa described from the Neogene of Mongolia represent Mammutidae (Zygolophodon, Mammut), trilophodont gomphotheres
(Gomphotherium or Platybelodon) and tetralophodont gomphotheres (Tetralophodon, Anancus).]
