Abstract Rhinocerotid remains from the middle Miocene Anatolian locality at Pasalar are described, and referred to Begertherium tekkayai, Aceratherium sp. aff. tetradactylum, and Brachypotherium brachypus. Begertherium tekkayai (= Beliajevina tekkayai HEISSIG) is only known from this locality. The material of Brachypotherium brachypus is similar to that from Sansan and Steinheim am Albuch (MN6–7), rather than to the earlier (informal) species B. stehlini known from La Romieu and Baigneaux (MN4), or to described African and Asian species. Begertherium tekkayai was probably a grazer, Aceratherium sp. a browser and Brachypotherium brachypus a mixed feeder. The very high proportion of juveniles in the Begertherium sample may point to accumulation by a predator.
