New fossil leporid materials from the Lower Pleistocene deposits of the Taurida Cave in the central Crimea (Zuya village, Belogorsk district) are referred to Hypolagus brachygnathus (Kormos, 1930) and Lepus sp. The cooccurrence of Hypolagus and Lepus in the Early Pleistocene of Crimea is significant in terms of the question of the first appearance of Lepus in Europe, as well as the hypothesis of the competition with hares as one of the possible causes of extinction of Hypolagus.

克里米亚早期更新世的下丘脑和狼疮（Leporidae，Lagomorpha）共现。

来自克里米亚中部（Belogorsk区的Zuya村）Taurida洞穴下更新世沉积的新化石脂蛋白物质被称为Hypolagus brachygnathus（Kormos，1930）和Lepus sp。就在欧洲首次出现天兔座的问题以及与野兔的竞争作为天蝎座灭绝的可能原因这一假设而言，克里米亚早期更新世中天蝎座和天狼座的共生是重要的。
