New Records of Proteid Salamanders (Amphibia, Caudata) from the Pliocene of Ukraine and Lower Pleistocene of Moldavia
Two isolated proteid vertebrae are described: the first is from the Pliocene Kotlovina locality, Ukraine, and is referred to Mioproteus sp., whereas the second is from the lower Pleistocene Chishmikioi locality in Moldavia (former USSR) and is referred to “Mioproteus” wezei...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | Two isolated proteid vertebrae are described: the first is from the Pliocene
Kotlovina locality, Ukraine, and is referred to Mioproteus sp., whereas the second is from the lower Pleistocene
Chishmikioi locality in Moldavia (former USSR) and is referred to “Mioproteus” wezei. This problematic
species is distinct from the Miocene M. caucasicus and may pertain to a distinct genus that includes aquatic
ancestors for the modern troglobitic Proteus. |
