The first results of such study are given in this article. During the past decades, several new proboscidean specimens have been added to the old collections, significantly enriching the available material. The Axios Valley (Macedonia, Greece) proboscidean fossils belong mainly to two species of Choerolophodon: C.anatolicus of early Vallesian age and C.pentelici of late Vallesian-Turolian age. Deinotherium giganteum is rare and recognized only in the late Vallesian locality Ravin de la Pluie of Axios Valley. A zygodont form has also been identified in the Turolian of Axios Valley, attributed to "Mammut” sp. The Late Miocene localities of Nikiti (Macedonia, Greece) revealed several remains of C.pentelici, which are similar to the Turolian ones of Axios Valley. The Samos proboscidean collection includes C.pentelici, "Tetralophodon” atticus, "Mammut” sp. and Deinotherium gigantissimum. The taxonomy of the Late Miocene peri-Mediterranean Choerolophodon is given, and the biostratigraphy and palaeoecology of the Greek Late Miocene proboscideans are discussed.
