Kurzfassung

In neogenen und quartären Sedimenten Tadschikistans finden sich oft Knochenreste von Carnivoren, unter denen am häufigsten Arten der Unterfamilie MachairodontinaeGill 1872 vertreten sind. Es liegen Schädel, Unterkiefer mit vollständigen Zahnreihen und Extremitätenknochen vor, die zu den GattungenMegantereon Croizet & Jobert 1828;Machairodus Kaup 1833;Homotherium Fabrini 1890 undHemimachairodus Koenigswald 1974 gehören. Diese Gattungen werden vorgestellt und ihre stratigraphische und geographische Verbreitung sowie einige Aspekte der Evolution von Säbelzahnkatzen werden diskutiert.

Saber-toothed cats (Mammalia: Carnivora: Machairodontinae) from the late Cenozoic of Tadzhikistan

Abstract

Neogene and Quaternary localities in Tadzhikistan have yielded numerous remains of carnivores, in particular of machairodontines. The fossils include skulls, lower jaws with complete dentition, and postcranials. They are assigned to the generaMegantereon Croizet & Jobert 1828,Machairodus Kaup 1833,Homotherium Fabrini 1890, andHemimachairodus Koenigswald 1974. Members of these genera and their stratigraphical and geographical distributions are presented, and some aspects of machairodontine evolution are discussed.
