Abstract:

An updated faunal list of La Gloria 4 (Ruscinian, Spain) and a description of the material referred to H. cf. elegans are presented. Comparisons with hipparions from Spain (Concud, El Arquillo, Venta del Moro, Layna), Greece (Dytiko), and Kazakhstan (Pavlodar, Kalmakpai) are provided. Possible parallelisms and problems of palaeoecological interpretations of anatomical characters of hipparions are discussed.
