Hypselephas hysudricus

古亚洲象学名Elephas hysudricus)是一种已灭绝的象科动物,化石发现于西瓦利克山脉。生活在上新世更新世时期[1]。 化石最早在印度博尔德下更新世砾岩带的侵蚀沉积而成。同地层也发现华丽剑齿象(Stegodon ganesha)、双角犀(Dicerorhinus platyrhinus)、印度马 (Equus sivalensis) 和印度骆驼 (Camel sivalensis)等。 古亚洲象的颅骨与非洲菱齿象的颅骨大不相同。它们的臼齿相对较短,较类似于东印度和日本古菱齿象的某些种类。 Falconer 和 Cautley以及 Osborn曾描绘此种古亚洲象幼年颅骨有极大的头颅指数(颅宽*100/颅长),与Blainville 描绘的 Elephas indicus 的幼年颅骨非常相似。 这些高而压缩的颅骨与非洲菱齿象低而扁平的幼年颅骨大不相同。 在咀嚼面可观察到不明显的中尖突(loxodont-sinus)[2]
