I find reference to only one:  Gomphotherium angustidens found in the French Miocene.  But then, I haven't tried Google, have you?

Yes, Gomphotherium angustidens from France :

- Channay-sur-Lathan (37), Langhian,

- En Péjouan, Castelnau Barbarens, Simorre, Sansan (32), Middle Miocene.

 

And Gomphotherium subtapiroideum (Schlesinger, 1917) :

- Lambesc (13), Middle Miocene.

 

(Information found on the web).

For questions like these, I highly recommend using Fossilworks, which is a great database of a bunch of different species and where and when they lived. A search for Gomphotherium will show you that during the Miocene, the genus has been reported multiple times from several European countries. Looking at each database will give you info on the exact age, what other species were found there, and more. Give it a try :)

Welcomme (1994) described the new Gomphotherium species G. hannibali from the Early Miocene of southern France, and there's also a paper by Gasparik and Markov (2009) that regards Gomphotherium praetypicum as a valid Gomphotherium species.
