Ml/ and M2/ are ant ero-posteriorly also longer than in the European P. auritus. Regarding the lower premolars, P/2 basally longer and wider, that is somewhat greater than in European P. au ritus, but with considerable overlap. P/3, however, is shorter basally. There are smaller values in this character than in the Asiatic specimens. The mean width of P/3 is smaller as compared to the European specimens, and absolutely narrower than the tooth of specimens from Korea and Mongolia. Plecotus (Plecotus) cf. abeli Wettstein, 1923 WETTSTEIN's species was reported from the type locality Mixnitz Cave (Upper Pleistocene) and also from the Lower Pleistocene of Deutsch Altenburg 2 by RABEDER (1974). I attribute the same name to this population of a smaller-sized Plecotus (Plecotus) collected along with a greater animal (see below in this paper) from Osztramos Loc. 9, Lower Pliocene. With this population, the abelilike species must have appeared a few million years earlier than it had been thought before.
