stratigraphical significance in the future. In any case, the facts mentioned in the review of different systematic units of the locality (e.g. the evolutionary stage of Desmana thermalis, the exclusive appearance of Cricetus cr. nanus, the last 111 appearance of Pannonictis and Episoriculus within a modern carnivore and insectivore fauna, etc.), prove definitely the geological contemporaneity of the whole locality-complex of Beremend 16/17, with a local colorit (E-Europe, Mediterranean). On the level of our knowledge we can establish, based on the proposal at the description of the fauna of Osztramos 8, the following fine-stratigraphical arrangement for the material of richer faunas of Hungary (Betfia-phase): (1) AI'lophaiomys-iauna with different Microtus species, presence of some small Mimomys, already with Lagurus pannonicus: Osztramos 12; (2) AllophaiomysA^mm. with small Mimomys and the large Mimomys savini as well as Lagurus arankae: Beremend 16/17; (3) Allophaiomys-fauna with small Mimomys and with Lagurus arankae: Osztramos 8. All in all, we can state that independently from the fine-stratigraphical position of the locality Beremend 16/17, its fauna (together with birds and bats) gives the most colourful picture about this period of Pleistocene, not only in Hungary and the Carpathian Basin, but in the whole range of the animal assemblages of Allophaiomys.
