Abstract

Snake remains from the Late Miocene (MN 13) localities of Polgardi 2 and Polgardi 4 (Hungary) belong to at least eight different taxa: Coluber hungaricus, Coronella cf. C. austriaca, Elaphe kormosi, Elaphe praelongissima sp.n., Natrix cf. N. longivertebrata (Colubridae), Vipera gedulyi, Vipera sp. 1 (»Oriental viper« group), and Vipera sp. 2 (»European viper« group) (Viperidae). The ophidian assemblage from Polgardi 4 was dominated by small colubrids, while that from Polgardi 2 by Vipera gedulyi. The composition of the snake fauna indicates rapid faunistic and paleoecological changes at the end of the Miocene.
