Abstract

The revision of the already described and of new specimens allowed the identification Stegomastodon waringi as the only proboscidean found in the municipalities of Dom Pedrito, Iraí, Itaqui, Nova Palma, Osório, Pântano Grande, Quaraí, Rosário do Sul, Santa Vitória do Palmar e São Gabriel. It was also observed that the molars are relatively larger, and that their oclusal wear pattern is relatively more complex in the molars of the species in the Rio Grande do Sul State when compared to those from the other Brazilian states.
