abstract

Results of detailed morphological description of the remains of small mammals (Lipotyphla, Lagomorpha, Rodentia) from the Middle Pleistocene locality Medzhybizh (MQR 3, MIS 11) in Ukraine are analyzed in the paper. Short geological data, quantitative and qualitative composition of mammals are presented here. The faunal checklist includes 30 small mammal species, mainly voles (Arvicolidae). Remains of Lagomorpha, Erinaceus, Lagurus, Micromys, Mimomys, Marmota are quite rare. The appearance of species Neomys newtoni and Microtus (Agricola) agrestis is noted for the first time in this region. Identified mammals existed during the Likhvin interglacial (Zawadiwka stage) in terms of mainly warm and humid climate with short cooling periods. It is also supported well by palynological data. Fauna of the Medzhybizh locality is stratigraphically belonged to the Babel’ association. It is more ancient than those of Gunky and Petersbuch 1 and somewhat younger than the fauna of small mammals from Ozerne 2, Rayhorod and Tarko.
