The presence of Megalovis latifrons Schaub, 1923 is discovered in the composition of the Early Pleistocene fauna (1.8–1.5 Ma) of Taurida Cave in the Crimea. A fragment of the frontal bone with a part of the horn core, the incomplete upper and lower jaws, the metacarpus and metatarsus of M. latifrons are described. This large fossil representative of Ovibovini has been known only by the very rare finds from the Lower Pleistocene of the south of Western and Central Europe. Megalovis inhabited Eurasia in the late Early Pleistocene and a very beginning of the Middle Pleistocene. In Russia this species is found for the first time. The data obtained are important for clarifying the morphological features and geographic and stratigraphic distribution of this species.

А new species Ovis gracilis sp. nov. is described based on the study of fossil remains of Bovidae from the Lower Pleistocene of the Taurida Cave, the Crimea. This not very large sheep had the horn cores with homonymous torsion and short sinuses, and slender metapodia. The remains of Ovis from Taurida are among the oldest in Europe and the first evidence of the presence of Ovis in the Еarly Pleistocene of the Crimea. The species O. gracilis was a part of the fauna of the Taurida Cave, dated within 1.8–1.5 Ma. The appearance of this species in the south of Eastern Europe could be associated with one of the early waves of dispersal from Asia, along the Alpine-Himalayan belt just prior to the Olduvai paleomagnetic episode.
