MATERIAL EXAMINED. — See Table 3 for data and measurements.
DESCRIPTION
The lower deciduous premolar is larger and more robust than the corresponding tooth of Prolagus Pomel, 1853 . The p4-m1 is a juvenile specimen with the beginning of root formation. Th e m2 is an adult one with developed roots. Th e root formation is a substantial character of the genus Eurolagus among the middle Miocene lagomorphs.
COMMENTS
In the Felsőtárkány Basin, Eurolagus was found in the localities FT 3/2, FT 3/8, FT 3/10. Prolagus was collected from FF 2/3 and FF 2/7. Th ese two genera never occur together in the Felsőtárkány localities.
