Gatunek typowy
Eurolagus fontannesi (Depéret, 1887) 

Opis

Large semihypsodont lagomorph, more strongly hypsodont than most of the primitive stem lagomorphs.  A trilobate P2 distinguishes Eurolagus from the basically bilobate tooth of Palaeolagus. The p3 is single−rooted. Differs from all genera (apart from Mytonolagus) in having more persistent reentrants on the buccal instead of the lingual side of the talonids of the lower cheek teeth. The m2 has fused roots. There is no trace of an additional lobe on m3.
