Fig. 1. The applied measuring practice of the cricetid molars ml - The anteroconid is always undivided. The oral surface of the tooth is smooth and convex. The anterolophulid is better developed, than in the ml molars of Cricetinus europaeus and Cricetinus beremendensis. In the majority of the molars the anterolophulid connects the metaconid and the labial portion of the anteroconid (Fig. 5) (type A in Table 2). In two cases the anterolophulid is doubled (Fig. 7) (type B in Table 2) and in one case it is developed between the metaconid and the lingual part of the anteroconid (Fig. 6) (type C in Table 2). The mesolophid is missing in the majority of the molars. There are 4 specimens with short mesolophid and in 3 cases it is medium developed. Mesostylid is visible only in one molar. Between the protoconid and the hypoconid there is an ectostylid-like, strong cingulum in one molar. The posterolophulid is always narrow. m2 - The antero-lingual cingulum is mostly well developed (type 1 in Table 3). It is missing only in the senile, worn teeth (type 0 in Table 3). The mesolophid is: - diagonally oriented and connected to the metaconid (Fig. 9) (type A in Table 3) - or not connected to the metaconid (Fig. 8) (type B in Table 3) - or missing (type 0 in Table 3). The posterolophulid is broaden out m3 - The antero-lingual cingulum is developed (type 1 in Table 4) or missing (type 0 in Table 4). The meso-lophid is always well developed. It is - connected to the metaconid (Fig. 16) (Type A in Table 4) - or connected to the mesostylid (Figs. 7-8-9) (Type B in Table 4) - or has a free end (type C in Table 4) - or forked (Figs. 10-11) (type D in Table 4). The ectolophid and the hypolophulid are not connected in some molars (Figs. 12, 14). In one m3 the hypoconid has no anterior connection to the ectolophid (Fig. 13)
