Genus DIDERMOCERUS Brookes, 1828. Application has been made (Boylan & Green, 1974) to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to suppress the generic name Didermocerus in favour of its synonym Dicerorhinus Gloger, 1841. By this action, the valid systematic name of the Sumatran Rhinoceros would become Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, usage already adopted by several authors including Groves (1967) and Groves & Kurt (1972).
