title: Hypolagus brachygnathus (Lagomorpha, Leporidae) from the Lower Pleistocene of the Taurida Cave in Crimea
abstract: Leporid fossils from the Lower Pleistocene deposits of the Taurida karstic cave discovered in 2018 in central Crimea (Zuya village, Belogorsk district) are referred to Hypolagus brachygnathus (Kormos, 1930). This species is characteristic of the interval from the early Pleistocene (late Villanyian, MN17) to the middle Pleistocene (latest Biharian, Q2) of Europe. It has not been previously observed in Crimea.
