==Subspecies==M. Beden identified five subspecies of "Elephas recki", from oldest to youngest:* "Elephas recki brumpti" Beden, 1980* "Elephas recki shungurensis" Beden, 1980* "Elephas recki atavus" Arambourg, 1947* "Elephas recki ileretensis" Beden, 1987* "Elephas recki recki" (Dietrich, 1916)New research indicates that the ranges for all five subspecies overlap, and that they are not separated in time as previously proposed.
