Lower Eocene sirenian, Ishatherium subathuensis, gen. et sp. nov. from the type area, Subathu Formation, Subathu, Simla Himalayas, H. P.
Jour. Pal. Soc. India 23/24: 132-135. 3 figs. June 1980.
–Describes Ishatherium subathuensis on the basis of a partial second lower molar. The referred material includes an upper incisor and some "limb and girdle bones", which are not described although they are said to indicate amphibious habits. The ?sir. vertebra described by Sahni et al. (1980) is here redescribed, and Ishatherium is said to be close to the ancestral sir.-moeritheriid stock.
  Subsequent writers have regarded Ishatherium not as a sir. but rather as an anthracobunid proboscidean (see Wells & Gingerich, 1983).
