Abstract: A short description of a chinchilla-coloured adult male specimen from Europaean hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas 1778) is given. The specimen was collected in Middle-Hungary between the villages Ujszász and Jánoshida (County Szolnok) on the 8th December 1974. According author's opinion the appearing of this rare colour mutation may be the result of an inbreeding caused by reduced ability of the population to breed panmixic.
