Abstract: 

A complete and well preserved fossil skeleton of Adcrocuta eximia (Roth & Wagner) is described. The skeleton consists of 156 bones. The locality is near the town of Hadzhidimovo, Blagoevgrad district, dated back as Late Maeotion, Turolian faunistic unit, MN12 zone. Comparisons are made with the skeleton of Chasmaporthetes borissiaki (Khomenko, 1931). It is concluded that it was an immature individual whose characteristics strongly correspond to Adcrocuta eximia. The differences found do not contradict to the taxonomical assignment.
