Species
editStudies in 2019 suggested that seven species are valid:[2]
- Diaceratherium aginense (Répelin, 1917)
- Diaceratherium askazansorense Kordikova, 2001
- Diaceratherium asphaltense (Depéret & Douxami, 1902)
- Diaceratherium aurelianense (Nouel, 1866)
- Diaceratherium lamilloquense Michel, 1987
- Diaceratherium lemanense (Pomel, 1853)
- Diaceratherium tomerdingense Dietrich, 1931, type species
Some sources separate the genus Brachydiceratherium from Diaceratherium, in which case some of the species listed above are placed in Brachydiceratherium.[3]
