Abstract

an isolated lower molar of the endemic Central America Proboscidea Gomphotherium hondurensis (Frick, 1933), recovered at the Valley of Torola River is described here. This locality corresponds with the outcrops of the Corinto local fauna, previously studied and defined by the American paleontologists David S. Webb and Stephen Perrigo during the 70's years; which is considered as one of the most important fossiliferous localities of the Upper Miocene of Central America. keywords: Gomphoterioidea, Upper Miocene, Morazán Formation, El Salvador. resumen: se describe un molar inferior, aislado, del proboscídeo endémico de América Central Gomphotherium hon-durensis (Frick, 1933), recuperado en el valle del río Torola en la localidad fosilífera de Corinto, la cual fue estudiada y caracterizada en los años 70 por los paleontólogos estadounidenses David S.
