Abstract

The mandibles of two individuals of Mustela palerminea (Petenyi, 1864) are described from the Lower Pleistocene deposits of the Taurida cave in Crimea (Late Villafranchian, 1.8–1.5 Ma). This extinct mustelid species was a typical representative of the Villafranchian faunas of Europe. It is the first record of M. palerminea in Russia.
