Promimomys microdon n. sp. Mimomys Silasen sis n. sp. Meriones sp. A systematico-stratigraphical analysis of this animal assemblage shows clearly the intermediate position of it, between the typical Upper and Lower Pliocene ("Pannonian") microfaunas of the corresponding territory. The primitive form of Episoriculus was analized on another occasion (JÁNOSSY, 1973). As the taxonomical designation of a very large Petényia-like form announces (cf. "dehneli"), it is related to the Podlesice-form (see KOWALSKI, 1956). The Petauristine (perhaps the first fossil représentant of Pteromys s. str.) is different from those of younger Pliocene forms as well as from the older ones

. Only one Eomyid, a Leptodontomys is present, apparently a constant element of Pliocene faunas. A giant Muscardinid may be especially characteristical for this stratigraphical level of the corresponding geographical territory (description of new species see below)

. A parallel case is the appearence of the two special forms of Arvicolids representing new species as well (descriptions below)

. The presence of such evolved voles proves more and more the formerly not estimated very ancient origine of the members of this group. The lacking of Cricetids may be due to ecological - environmental peculiarities. Meriones is represented by characteristical although very fragmentary material but it is clearly tobe proved that a smaller form as Epimeriones austriacus DAXNER 1972 is present.
