<i>Promephitis lartetii</i> Gaudry, 1861 (Carnivora: Mephitidae) from the Late Miocene of Tuva (Taralyk-Cher Locality)
The paper describes fossil remains of Promephitis lartetii (Mephitidae) from the Upper Miocene (MN 12-13) of Tuva, the Taralyk-Cher locality, presented by two nearly complete deformed skulls, mandibular rami, and maxilla, mandible fragments, and isolated teeth. The variability of taxonomically significant characters in the morphology P4-M1 and the skull of P. lartetii has been studied. The stability of the taxonomic characters of the genus Promephitis has been analyzed.
