The first discoveries of European pit vipers (Crotalinae gen. et sp. indet. A and B) are reported from the Ukrainian Miocene (MN 9a) locality of Gritsev. Based on perfectly preserved maxillaries, two species closely related to pit vipers of the 'Agkistrodon' complex are represented at the site. It is suggested that the European fossil representatives of the 'Agkistrodon' complex are Asiatic immigrants. Pit vipers probably never expanded into the broader areas of Europe during their geological history.

W pobliżu wioski Gricew na Ukrainie (obwód chmielnicki) odkryto liczne skamieniałości późnomioceńskich jaszczurek i węży, datowane na poziom biostratygraficzny MN9 (ok. 11 mln lat temu). W niniejszej pracy opisano dobrze zachowane kości szczękowe dwóch gatunków węży, pozwalające je zaliczyć do podrodziny Crotalinae, Oppel 1811. Oba gatunki grzechotnikowatych, pozostawione w taksonomii otwartej (Crotalinae gen. et sp. indet. A i B), wykazują duże podobieństwa do zespołu gatunków określanego jako "kompleks Agkistrodon". Zapewne ukraińskie grzechotniki są imigrantami z Azji; rodzina ta prawdopodobnie nigdy nie zasiedliła na dłużej znaczniejszych obszarów Europy.
