Abstract	The front limb ofIndarctos atticus has many characters in common withUrsus arctos both in proportions and morphology. The brachial index and the length proportions between the metacarpals and the radius or the humerus are similar with those ofU. arctos. Only the first metacarpal ofI. atticus seems slightly shortened and the distal part of the humerus less developed compared with those ofU. arctos. The bones ofI. atticus show great morphological similarities with those ofU. arctos, while it seems that there is no close resemblance withAiluropoda except for the presence of an entepicondylar foramen. Compared to specimens ofI. atticus from Concud, present findings show interesting differences that are discussed.Die Vorderextremität vonIndarctos atticus hat mitUrsus arctos viele gemeinsame Merkmale, sowohl in den Proportionen als auch in der Morphologie. Der Brachial-Index und die Proportionen der Länge zwischen den Metacarpalia und dem Radius oder dem Humerus sind ähnlich mit denjenigen vonU. arctos. Nur das erste Metacarpale vonI. atticus sieht ein bißchen kleiner aus verglichen mit denjenigen vonU. arctos. Der distale Teil des Humerus ist auch weniger breit. Die Knochen vonI. atticus zeigen große morphologische Ähnlichkeiten mit denen vonU. arctos, hingegen scheint es, daß es keine besonderen Ähnlichkeiten mitAiluropoda außer der Anwesenheit von einem Foramen entepicondyloideum gibt. Im Vergleich mitI. atticus aus Concud weisen unsere Funde interessante Unterschiede aus, die besprochen werden.
