Dear Dr. van der Geer,

di Stefano & Petronio (2000-2002: p. 317, first column) say that Cervus peloponnesiacus can be indentified with Rusa rhenana.

A sort of starting point...

Best regards

Alexandra Anna van der Geer

Thanks! I'll try to find that publication! In case it is rhenana, it should be Metacervoceros, if we agree to follow Roman Croiter, otherwise simply Cervus. The Rusa option is a favourite of Carmelo Petronio, mainly (or only?) based on antler morphology. He also suggested Rusa for the Cretan Pleistocene deer. If peloponnesiacus is close to the ancestry of the latter, the circle is round.

You can find other news on Capasso Barbato 1990 (p. 266, second column), attached.

Best Regards

Dear dr. van der Geer,

I guess that there is some change of name during time.

I have not too much experience with vertebrate from pleistocene so I must believe in what I read... for now... I'm studying this kind of paleontology.

Thank you for your information, I'll search the paper of Croiter about this genus of deer.

Best

following your answer I've found Garrido 2008 in which there is the synonym list of Metacervoceros rhenanus, that follow Croitor 2006.

Garrido don't mention Di Stefano & Petronio 2000-2002 or Capasso 1990, inside synonym list.

I have no idea what is "Cervus peloponnesiacus", but I am curious to know it. Do you have an original published description of its remains and a figure of type material?

no, only fragmentary materials are known, and to my knowledge, practically nothing was described, other than by Sickenberg 1975, and the only complete antler from Megalopolis that was preserved (but never depicted / described!), has recently been destroyed during the June 2017 earthquake on Lesvos, unfortunately (the museum was damaged).
