Popov, Vasil V., 2004, Pliocene small mammals (Mammalia, Lipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, Rodentia) from Muselievo (North Bulgaria), Geodiversitas 26 (3), pp. 403-491 : 477

Hystrix sp. ( Fig. 37D, E )

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Fragment of right P4 (Ms396).

DESCRIPTION AND COMPARISON

The available premolar shows relatively high crown, higher than in Hystrix primigenia Wagner, 1848 . In this respect it is comparable with the porcupine materials from Perpignan and Weze, which for the time being should be designated as Hystrix cf. primigenia (Sen pers. comm.).
