“…ese specimens show similarities with Geotrypus (cusps very slender, somewhat lingually oblique ridge joining the base of the posterior trigonid wall, entocristid reduced or absent, anterior cingulum developed;Crochet 1995). However, a number of differences prevent its attribution with certainty to that genus.…”

ABSTRACTis fauna results from the short-time excavation of a restricted fossiliferous level, following the opening of a trench for the installation of a gas conduit. Even if the amount of sediment is limited, the diversity of the fauna approaches that of other contemporaneous localities. Among the 40 vertebrate species, a few are amphibious, and most terrestrial. Among them, biochronological markers like Issiodoromys pauffiensis Vianey-Liaud, 1987 (Rodentia, eridomyidae) are better defined. is species is compared with the type population of the MP 26 Mammalian Paleogene standardlevel (Mas-de-Pauffié, Lot; early Chattian). In addition, evolutionary grades hitherto unknown are described for several less well represented species: a sciurid rodent Comtia n. gen., a molossid bat (Cuvierimops sp.), a probable talpid, and the hyaenodontid ereutherium thylacodes Filhol, 1876. e familial assignment of the snake Platyspondylia Rage, 1974 is discussed.e locality yielded the possible earliest shinisaurian lizard. e diversity of this new vertebrate fauna is compared to that of several localities from the same biochronological level (mainly Mas-de-Pauffié, Saint-Menoux, SaintHenri/Saint-André, Mümliswil-Hardberg and Oensingen 11). e choice of Mas-de-pauffié as the reference-locality for MP 26 is therefore supported. RÉSUMÉ Une nouvelle faune de vertébrés continentaux de l'Oligocène supérieur (MP26) à Saint-Privat-des-Vieux (Bassin d'Alès, Gard, Sud de France).Cette faune résulte de la brêve exploitation d'un petit niveau fossilifère mis au jour lors de l'ouverture d'une tranchée pour l'installation d'une conduite de gaz. Même si la quantité de sédiment fossilifère accessible était limitée, la diversité de la faune récoltée est du même ordre que celle de localités contemporaines. Parmi les 40 espèces de vertébrés reconnues, quelques unes sont amphibies mais la plupart est terrestre. Parmi elles, des marqueurs biochronologiques tel Issiodoromys pauffiensis Vianey-Liaud, 1987 (Rodentia, eridomyidae)

“…Manz and Bloch (2015), however, found varying levels of support for these subfamilies in their phylogenetic analysis, as Nyctitheriinae was paraphyletic with respect to Amphidozotheriinae and Placentidentinae, Amphidozotheriinae was paraphyletic with respect to the genera Limaconyssus and Scraeva , Wyonycteris Gingerich, 1987, and Pontifactor were not allied with Placentidentinae, and Asionyctiinae was paraphyletic with respect to all other Nyctitheriidae. More recently, Hooker (2021) erected the new subfamily Saturniniinae for the European genera Saturninia , Cryptotopos Crochet, 1974, and Oligonyctia Smith, 2004, which formed a monophyletic group sister to Amphidozotheriinae in his analysis.…”

Nyctitheres are a diverse Paleogene group of insectivorous mammals from Asia, North America, and Europe. Known mostly from their relatively unspecialized tribosphenic dentitions, various taxa currently placed in the family Nyctitheriidae have previously been considered to belong to such disparate extinct eutherian families as Leptictidae and Adapisoriculidae, and some have even been considered to be early bats. Here we describe a large collection of nyctitheres from the late Paleocene (early Clarkforkian) of Big Multi Quarry in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, USA, representing the most diverse faunal assemblage of nyctitheres currently known. Big Multi Quarry is unique among currently known Clarkforkian sites because of its excellent preservation of microvertebrates, including hundreds of specimens belonging to Eulipotyphla, Primatomorpha, Metatheria, and Multituberculata. The Big Multi fauna includes at least eight species of nyctitheres and preserves the earliest known occurrences of the genera Ceutholestes Rose and Gingerich, 1987, and Plagioctenoides Bown, 1979, as well as additional specimens belonging to the species Limaconyssus habrus Gingerich, 1987, and Wyonycteris chalix Gingerich, 1987. New species of nyctitheres from this fauna include: Ceutholestes acerbus, new species; Plagioctenoides cryptos, new species; Plagioctenodon dawsonae, new species; and Plagioctenodon goliath, new species. This large sample of nyctitheres enhances our knowledge of the anatomy of several poorly known taxa including those comprising the subfamily Placentidentinae, for which we provide an emended diagnosis.
