Characteristics of the postcranial skeleton of Arvernoceros ardei and Cervus perrieri from Perrier (France, late Pliocene, 2.78 ± 0.01 Ma BP, MNQ 16b) are described and distinguished. This was made possible by using the skeletal remains of A. ardei from Kaltensundheim (Germany, Thuringia, late Pliocene age) as identification keys. C. perrieri did not occur in Kaltensundheim. Twenty-five skeletal differences of A. ardei and C. perrieri are detected, and are compared to the genera Eucladoceros, Cervus, Praemegaceros and Megaloceros. The results demonstrate a high level of conformity of A. ardei with Eucladoceros in predominantly plesiomorphic features; major differences exist between A. ardei and Cervus, and A. ardei and Megaloceros. C. perrieri shows several similarities with Cervus elaphus, in which both differ from A. ardei and Eucladoceros. An association of C. perrieri to the genus Cervus is indicated by the postcranial skeleton, as has been discussed in the literature based on antler characteristics. By the findings of Kaltensundheim, a precise association of dental and skeletal characteristics to A. ardei is possible now. The allocation of E. giulii from Untermaßfeld (Germany, Thuringia, Jaramillo event) to the genus Arvernoceros appears doubtful based on the dental and skeletal features of A. ardei from Kaltensundheim and Perrier. The original classification within the genus Eucladoceros is considered probable.

根据颅后骨骼，从Perrier（法国）的上新世晚期站点区分Arvernoceros ardei和Cervus perrieri（Cervidae，Mammalia）：分类学和系统发育的结论

描述并区分了来自Perrier（法国，上新世晚期，2.78±0.01 Ma BP，MNQ 16b）的Arvernoceros ardei和Cervus perrieri的颅后骨骼特征。通过使用来自Kaltensundheim（德国，图林根州，上新世末期）的ard。A. ardei的骨骼遗骸作为识别码，使之成为可能。在Kaltensundheim没有发生C. perrieri。检测到了25个A. ardei和C. perrieri的骨骼差异，并将其与Eucladoceros，Cervus，Praemegaceros和Megaloceros的属进行了比较。结果表明，A。ardei与Eucladoceros主要为多形性特征；A. ardei和Cervus以及A. ardei和Megaloceros之间存在主要差异。C. perrieri与鹿（Cervus elaphus）表现出几处相似之处，两者均与ardei和Eucladoceros不同。的关联C. perrieri属鹿由颅后骨架表示，如在基于鹿茸特性的文献中讨论。通过Kaltensundheim的发现，牙齿和骨骼特征与ard。ardei有精确的关联现在有可能。的分配E. giulii从翁特尔马斯费尔德（德国，图林根，贾拉米洛事件）属Arvernoceros基于所述牙齿和骨骼特征似乎是值得怀疑A. ardei从卡尔滕孙德海姆，巴黎。Eucladoceros属的原始分类被认为是可能的。
