On a new diatomyid (Rodentia, Mammalia) from the Paleogene of south-east Serbia, the first record of the family in Europe

Two new late Oligocene species of Deperetomys: D. calefactus and D. saltensis, are described and the affinities between the various species are discussed. The new records extend the stratigraphic range of Deperetomys into the Oligocene, making it the first European Miocene murid that can be traced across the "Cricetid vacuum". A single M1 of a large early Oligocene murid that may represent the oldest record of Deperetomys is described. The classification problems that arise as a result of the fast increase of information of the Paleogene Muridae from Asia and the Middle East are addressed and the need to recognise and define clades above the genus level is demonstrated. Our conclusion is that the Deperetomys clade contains at least three different evolutionary lineages.

In this paper, we describe ectothermic vertebrate assemblages from the Kargı 1, Kargı 2, Kargı 3, Harami1, Harami 3, Hancılı, Keseköy, Çandır and Bağiçi localities in Turkey. The ages of these localities range from the latest Oligocene to the middle Miocene. The preserved non-mammalian fauna of the studied localities includes fishes (Luciobarbus sp., Barbus sp., Luciobarbus vel Barbus sp., aff.

“…The geological setting and composition of these faunas (consisting mainly of rodents) have been described by Four rodent groups have been studied and published in print resp. online so far: the Diatomyidae (Marković et al 2018), the Melissiodontinae (Wessels et al 2018), the Paracricetodontinae (van and the Pappocricetodontinae (de Bruijn et al in press), while the publication on the Dipodidae is accepted, but not yet published (Wessels et al in prep. ).…”

Pseudocricetodontines from the late Eocene and early Oligocene of southeast Serbia are described. The Pseudocricetodontinae is a clade with a Eurasian geographical range during most of the Oligocene. The subfamily and genera included are briefly discussed. Originally, it contained Pseudocricetodon and Heterocricetodon only, but the number of genera included has grown to at least seven genera during the last decades. Differences in opinion about the content of the subfamily are for a part due to lack of studies in which the Paleogene cricetids from Asia and Europe are directly compared. The material from southeast Serbia described below is assigned to three species: Pseudocricetodon cf. montalbanensis Thaler, 1969, P. heissigi nov. sp. and Heterocricetodon serbicus nov. sp.
