摘要

The new fossil teeth of<em> Stegolophodon</em> (Proboscidea, Mammalia) were discovered from the terrestrial sediments of the Irrawaddy Formation, in Kyauksaungsan and Tebingan areas, Magway Region, central Myanmar. A new <em>Stegolophodon</em> species is established in this paper. <em>Stegolophodon iravaticus </em>shares the characters of the advanced <em>Stegolophodon</em> and the primitive <em>Stegodon</em>. The M₃ of S. <em>iravaticus</em> is related to that of the molar of Sand Pit in Tha Chang, Thailand and that of from Dhedari, Pakistan which is included in the <em>Stegolophodon</em> group 6 of Saegusa <em>et al.</em> (2005).
