proboscidean, (order Proboscidea), any of the group of mammals that includes elephants and their extinct relatives such as mammoths and mastodons Although only three species of elephant are extant today, more than 160 extinct proboscidean species have been identified from remains found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica

The mammal order Proboscidea was described by C Illigeer in 1881 and was named according to its most noteworthy characteristic, the trunk (Latin proboscis), although the earliest proboscideans lacked trunks
- Understanding proboscidean evolution: a formidable task
Data from more than 55 million years of evolution help to interpret how the integration of primitive and derived characters was essential to proboscidean success Only two, or perhaps three, species remain of approximately 164 that lived in the past

- Revisiting proboscidean phylogeny and evolution through total evidence . . .
In this study, we present almost 3,000 base pairs of mitochondrial ancient DNA (aDNA) obtained from a specimen of N platensis from Uruguay (Figure 1) and reconstruct a molecular phylogeny using these data together with previously retrieved DNA sequences from seven other members of the Proboscidea
