maxillae there are two specimens, where the large sized character is consequent on Ml and M2 molars (Villány 3 SN max. no. 3, Villány 3 F max. no. 1). In the A. éhiki Ml material the metrical difference is remarkable, but not sufficient for establish a distinct subspecies. Another interesting feature is the considerable difference between the anterior and posterior widths Wa-Wp (Fig. 8). The examination of this character was initiated by Pradel (1981,1988). He found very small difference between the fossil A, bursae material of Poland and a recent Cricetulus migratorius population from Syria. This parameter is definitely larger in the Hungarian Allocricetus populations than in the Polish Allocricetus materials. M2 Morphological distribution: A: B: C: D: metalophule (MTL) +, MTL -, MTL +, MTL -, mesolophe (ML) ML ML ML 1 5 (Fig. 9, c) 12 In the morphological composition there is no remarkable difference compared to the Hungarian Pleistocene populations. The scatter diagram of these teeth is bimodal similarly to the Ml molars. M3 All the 4 primary cusps are well developed. The reduction of the para-, hypo-, and metacone is not so characteristic than at Middle- and Upper Pleistocene Allocricetus and recent Cricetulus. The only peculiarity on one tooth is an extra enamel branch between the metacone and the anterocingulum (Fig. 9, d). m 1 Morphological distribution: A: PAC-, MLB: PAC-, ML -, anteroconid undivided C: PAC-, ML+, D: PAC-, ML -, anteroconid 3-parted CD: PAC-, ML+, anteroconid 3-parted CB: PAC-, ML+, anteroconid undivided 36 1 2 1 1 1 The preanteroconid cingulum (PAC) is equal to the anterolingual conulid in Reig (1977), and to the additional furrows on the front wall in Pradel (1982). In the investigated Pleistocene Allocricetus populations (Hír 1989, 1992) the PAC is occurred on 2-20% of the ml molars. In the material of Villány 3 and Esztramos 3 it is completely missing. On the majority of the teeth the anteroconid is divided in two parts by a depression according to the descriptions of Fahlbusch (1969) and Pradel (1981, 1988). On one molar the anteroconid is undivided (Fig. 10, b) and another two specimens have tripartite anteroconid (Fig. 10, d-e). These rare types are unknown in the Pleistocene Allocricetus materials, but occurred in the dental
