New data on Eulipotyphla (Insectivora, Mammalia) from the Late Miocene to the Middle Pleistocene of Ukraine Rzebik-Kowalska, Barbara Rekovets, Leonid I. Palaeontologia Electronica 2016 2016-02-28 12 1 1 31 [1068,1213,786,811] Mammalia Soricidae Zelceina Animalia Soricomorpha 23 24 Chordata species undetermined   Figure 10.5   Material.Verkhnya Krynitsa 2 ( MN11/ MN12), left M1-M2. MNI = 1. Catalogue number 29/2/16.   Description.The teeth, M1 and M2 ( Figure 10.5) are of middle size, massive and quadratic in occlusal view. They are characterized by small, more or less tetrahedral hypocones, considerable metalophs and deep hypoconal flanges.  Measurements.See Table 12.  Systematic Position.The teeth described above in many respects resemble M1 and M2 of  Petenyiaand  Zelceina. However, more detailed observation shows that they are more similar to upper molars of  Zelceinabecause M1 and M2 of  Petenyiahave smaller hypocones or lack them altogether, shallower hypoconal flanges, lower metalophs and slighter posterior emargination. Moreover the size of Verkhnya Krynitsa 2 teeth also agrees with the size of known  Zelceinaspecies(see Table 12). Two species of this genus are known so far from Europe:  Zelceina soriculoides( Sulimski, 1959); and  Z. podlesicensis Rzebik-Kowalska, 1990. The M1–M2 from Verkhnya Krynitsa 2 are more similar to those of  Z. soriculoidesbecause they are more massive than molars of  Z. podlesicensis. Because the three converging ridges in the hypoconal region of M1 and M2 (typical for  Zelceinaspecies) are less distinct than in all known forms, and the posterior emargination is slightly more distinct, the specimen from Verkhnya Krynitsa 2 has been tentatively described as  Zelceinasp. So far  Zelceinacf. podlesicensiswas cited from the Ukrainian locality Mikhailovka 2 (MN11). Unfortunately, it was described on the basis of lower teeth and a comparison with the specimen discussed here is impossible ( Rzebik-Kowalska and Nesin, 2010).
