Abstract
In this paper, over 60 fossil horse remains from the latest early Pleistocene karstic site of Quibas (Abanilla, Murcia, Spain) are described. Their taxonomy and morphology, evolutionary stage, and paleoecological determining factors are studied. The multivariate analysis through comparison with different forms that occur in other Spanish and European localities shows that the majority of the fossils match the medium-sized species Equus altidens . This species represents the last form in the stenonoid lineage. In Spain, E. altidens is related to warm or warm-temperate climate, in woodlands or savanna-mosaic habitats. Equus suessenbornensis is also sparsely represented, first cited in the site of Quibas.
