All the five Ml molars of C. europaeus have metalophule and 2 of them have remnant mesolophe too (Figs. 6, 7) In three M3 molars of C. europaeus have mesolophe which is absolutely missing in the M3 teeth of C. beremendensis (Figs. 17, 18). In the ml molars of C. europaeus the anterolophulid is generally better developed (Figs. 11, 12). In two mis small, remnant mesolophids exist. The labial part of the anterosinusid is definitely deeper, than the lingual part. In the ml molars of C. beremendensis the two parts have the same depth. Among the seven m2 molars of C. europaeus available, five specimens bear mesolophid. In one of them the mesolophid reaches the lingual margin of the tooth (Fig. 14). In this respect the measurements have subordinate importance. Generally the averages of the measurements of Cricetinus beremendensis are between the averages of the corresponding measurements of A. ehiki and A. bursae, but the overlappings are considerable (Hír 1993 b) In the Ml molars of Allocricetus species the frequency of the parastyle is higher. Likewise, in the M2 molars of Allocricetus the "parametalophule" is more frequent In the ml molars of the Allocricetus species the undivided anteroconid is an extremely rare curiosity (Hír 1993a). In the majority of cases it is well divided (Fig. 4) and the anterolophulid is well developed. In the m2 molars of the Allocricetus species the short mesolophid occurs more frequently In the m3 series of the Allocricetus material the frequency of the B

15/34, B

15/38 morphotypes is lower than in C. beremendensis and the morphotype B 14/33 occurs only in the material of Beremend 15 (Fig. 28.). The distribution of the other morphotypes seems to be random. The size measurements of the recent Cricetulus migratorius from Syria (Pradel 1981) and Turkey (Hír 1993) are remarkably smaller. In these assemblages the anteroconid of the ml molars is always divided and the anterolophulid is well developed. 2.
