The remains of Leporidae from the Lower Pleistocene deposits of the Taurida karstic cave discovered in 2018 in the central Crimea (Belogorsk district, Zuya village) are referred to Hypolagus brachygnathus (Kormos, 1930). This species is characteristic of the interval from the beginning of the Pleistocene (Late Villainian, MN17) to the Middle Pleistocene (latest Biharian, Q2) of Europe. It has not been previously observed in Crimea.
