摘要：

A subfossil antlered braincase of red deer discovered in the Holocene gravel deposits of Eastern Romania is described. The morphology of antlers suggests that the studied specimen is related to the Caucasian and Caspian stags and belongs to the oriental subspecies Cervus elaphus maral Ogilby, 1840. An overview and discussion of taxonomical issues regarding modern red deer from South-eastern Europe and some fossil forms of the region are proposed. The so-called Pannonian red deer (Cervus elaphus pannoniensis Banwell, 1997) is considered a junior synonym of Cervus elaphus maral Ogilby, 1840. Cervus elaphus aretinus Azzaroli, 1961 from the last interglacial stage of Italy seems to be very close to Cervus elaphus maral.
