  1883
On a new extinct genus of Sirenia from South Carolina.
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 35(1): 52-54. Mar. 27, 1883.
–Abstr.: Amer. Naturalist 17: 309, March 1883. Description of the Miocene Dioplotherium manigaulti, n.gen.n.sp., and of a pelvis fragment cf. Halitherium, both from South Carolina. On p. 52 Cope inadvertently introduces the new combination Halitherium minor as a synonym of H. serresii, and mistakenly attributes it to Cuvier. He may have latinized a vernacular expression of Cuvier, or had in mind the name Hippopotamus minor Desmarest, which refers to a fossil hippopotamid and not a sirenian.
