Italosiren
# Italosiren

Italosiren is an extinct genus of early dugong from the Early Miocene (Aquitanian) Libano Formation in northern Italy.

## Classification

It was originally classified as a species of Halitherium, H. bellunense, but was eventually recognized as closer to the dugong than to Halitherium schinzii, necessitating erection of the new generic name Italosiren.
