Dusisiren dewana, n. sp. (Mammalia: Sirenia), a new ancestor of Steller's sea cow from the Upper Miocene of Yamagata Prefecture, northeastern Japan.
Trans. Proc. Pal. Soc. Japan (n.s.) No. 141: 296-321. 12 tabs. 15 figs. Pls. 53-62. https://doi.org/10.14825/prpsj1951.1986.141296 Apr. 30, 1986.
–Japanese summ. Abstrs.: Takahashi et al. (1979); East Asian Tertiary/Quaternary Newsletter No. 9: 44, 1989. Describes the skull and skeleton of Dusisiren dewana and compares it with D. jordani, Hydrodamalis cuestae, and H. gigas. It is considered phyletically intermediate between the former two and is 9.0-10.4 Ma old. (See Takahashi et al., 1983 for more details on the discovery of this specimen, the geology of the locality, and associated fossils.) Also summarizes other fossil sir. occurrences in Japan, and suggests that the tooth of "Dugong" reported by Inuzuka et al. (1980) may instead represent Paleoparadoxia (317).
