“…In fact the "primitive" phenotype of leporines was thought to be the "classic" European Alilepus morphotype PR1/A0 (cf. Hibbard 1963, Averianov & Tesakov 1997. The p3 phenotype in the material from Egorovka 2 cannot be looked upon as exceptional or an accidental sampling of extreme morphotypes.…”

“…Postero-internal structures in p3 are a very important part of the tooth phenotype in Leporinae (Hibbard 1963, White 1991, Averianov & Tesakov 1997, López Martínez et al 2007. These structures are never well developed in the sister clade to Leporinae, the Archaeolaginae.…”

“…In extant Old World species of Lepus (PR3/A1), the mesofossettid appears rarely (ca up to 1%; Averianov & Tesakov 1997). In European populations of Oryctolagus cuniculus (PR3/A1) an aberrant mesofossettid is also sometimes observed (Hibbard 1963).…”

“…The genus Lepus most likely emerged in North America around 2.5 Ma (Ge et al, 2013;López-Martínez, 2008), and Averianov and Tesakov (1997) suggest a direct phylogenetic link with the genus Trischizolagus, which went extinct during the Early Pleistocene. Hares are known from Lower Pleistocene contexts in Central Europe (Fladerer, 1987;Kretzoi, 1956;Paunović and Jambrešić, 1997), Germany (Maul, 2001), Italy (Van der Meulen, 1973) and Spain (De Marfà, 2009;Galobart et al, 2003;Mazo et al, 1985).…”

a b s t r a c tPlio-Pleistocene climate oscillations in the different regions of Western Europe substantially influenced the evolutionary history of European leporids. Distinguishing rabbits (Oryctolagus) from hares (Lepus) in the archeological and palaeontological record of Pleistocene Europe is complicated due to the variability of their size and morphology. Here, we present the first description of two Pleistocene leporid species from Bois-de-Riquet (Lézignan-la-Cèbe, Hérault) in southern France. The first, Oryctolagus cf. giberti, exhibits similar characteristics to rabbit species documented in Spain and, thus, for the first time is recorded outside the Iberian Peninsula. The second leporid is a hare represented by very limited number of non-diagnostic remains, which, unfortunately, precludes an exact species identification. Already known from Lower Pleistocene deposits in Central Europe and Spain, the presence of Lepus sp. in southern France sheds new light on the geographic extension of these species. In this respect, Bois-de-Riquet is an important paleontological site that can further our understanding of the evolutionary history and expansion of European leporids.

Morphométrie géométrique 2D r é s u m é L'histoire évolutive des léporidés européens actuels dans les différentes régions de l'Europe occidentale a été fortement dépendante des oscillations climatiques du Plio-Pléistocène. La distinction entre les différentes espèces de lapins (Oryctolagus) et de lièvres (Lepus) dans les gisements archéologiques et paléontologiques pléistocènes constitue une tâche délicate, tant leurs morphologies et leurs tailles demeurent très variables. Dans ce travail, deux espèces de léporidés du Pléistocène inférieur ont été décrites, pour la première fois en France, à partir du matériel du Bois-de-Riquet (Lézignan-la-Cèbe, Hérault). La première est G Model PALEVO-847; No. of Pages 15 2 M. Pelletier et al. / C. R. Palevol xxx (2015) xxx-xxx une espèce de lapin, décrite comme Oryctolagus cf. giberti, présentant les caractères similaires à celle retrouvée en Espagne. Cela permet de mettre en évidence sa présence au-delà de la péninsule Ibérique à cette époque. Le second léporidé est un lièvre, dont la détermi-nation spécifique n'a pas pu être effectuée en raison du très faible nombre de restes qui s'y rapportent et de leur caractère non diagnostique. Enregistré dans des gisements du Pléis-tocène inférieur d'Espagne et d'Europe centrale, la présence de Lepus sp. dans le Sud de la France permet de renouveler nos connaissances concernant leur extension géographique. À cet égard, le Bois-de-Riquet est un site paléontologique de première importance, permettant de discuter de l'histoire évolutive et de l'expansion des léporidés en Europe.

“…He recognized the specimens as juvenile representatives of Hypolagus and synonymized them with Hypolagus Dice, 1917. It stands to reason that the relatively deep posterointernal reentrant of p3 in the holotype of Pliolagus beremendensis Kormos, 1934 is a result of unfinished ontogenetic transformation of the tooth, disappearing with wear in more adult stages (Averianov & Tesakov 1997). Pliolagus beremendensis Kormos, 1934 andP.…”

A proven record of Hypolagus (Lagomorpha, Mammalia) from twenty-two Plio-Pleistocene (Ruscinian–Biharian) localities of the Czech and Slovak Republics is presented; from eight localities the genus is reported or described for the first time.Adetailed description and morphological analysis of the currently available dental and cranial material proved the presence of two species in the studied area and enabled to assessment of their intra- and interspecific variability, as well as the phylogenetic level of some paleopopulations. The complete history of research on the Central European Hypolagus is summarized, accompanied by nomenclatural revision and synonymy. A revision and designation of the type material is provided. The results are expressed in a description of Hypolagus petenyii Čermák & Fladerer sp. nov. from the Pliocene (Early Villányian) locality of Beremend (Hungary). In the studied area: (1) the gracile and less advanced H. petenyii Čermák&Fladerer sp. nov., characterized by a simple P2 and p3, is recorded from the Pliocene (Late Ruscinian–Early Villányian) localities of Měňany 3, Ivanovce 1, Hajnáčka I and Hosťovce 2; (2) H. brachygnathus (Kormos, 1930), the larger and more robust species with a greater variability of more advanced P2 and p3, persisted throughout the Early Pleistocene (Biharian), with its last appearance in the Late Biharian locality Chlum 4. A taxonomical review and/or revision of Central European finds is provided and discussed in the context of phylogeny and systematics of Eurasian Archaeolaginae leporids
