In the late Miocene deposits in the Taralik-Cher locality (Tuva Republic), fossil remains of a giant mustelid of the genus Eomellivora Zdansky, 1924 have been found. This finding is the first reliable evidence of the Eomellivora inhabiting the modern Russia. Teeth of the Eomelliovra from Taralik-Cher are similar in size to those of E. wimani and E. piveteaui from the late Miocene in Eurasia. The morphology of teeth of the material from Tuva is most similar to that of E. ursogulo; therefore, it is considered a small form of Eomellivora ursogulo. The described finding expands the understanding of diversity, variability, and distribution of representatives of the genus Eomellivora in Asia during the late Miocene.
在塔拉里克-切尔地区（图瓦共和国）的晚中新世沉积物中，发现了1924年由兹丹斯基命名的巨型貂属动物伊氏貂（Eomellivora）的化石残骸。这一发现是伊氏貂栖息于现代俄罗斯的首个可靠证据。来自塔拉里克-切尔的伊氏貂牙齿大小与欧亚大陆晚中新世的维氏伊氏貂（E. wimani）和皮氏伊氏貂（E. piveteaui）的牙齿相似。图瓦材料的牙齿形态与熊貂（E. ursogulo）的最为相似；因此，它被认为是熊貂的一个小型变种。上述发现拓展了对晚中新世亚洲伊氏貂属代表物种的多样性、变异性和分布的认识。
