Zygomaturus diahotensis
[edit]I get the feeling this is no longer a valid species. It comes from New Caledonia, described in 1981 as a part of a tooth, originally described as a Rhinoceros. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016699581800046
A 2012 paper summarising Quarternary Rhinocerotids of Indochina, says confidently that this was misidentified as Zygomaturus and is in fact a specimen of Brachypotherium brachypus, with the specimen likely sold in France as jewellery and being lost by the river it was found. http://www.rhinoresourcecenter.com/pdf_files/131/1313209161.pdf
