Cricetodon klariankae n. sp. differs from Cricetodon candirensis (TOBIEN, 1978) in the characters B, C, D, N, Q. The Early Miocene Cricetodon species from Greece and Turkey (e.g. Cricetodon aliveriensis, C. versteegi, C. casapligili, C. tobieni) are much smaller and have different morphology. Conclusion Based on the results of this research Cricetodon klariankae is the last cricetodontid species in Hungary, because the tribus is missing from the faunas of Felsőtárkány 3/2 (MN7/8), Rudabánya (MN9) and all other Late Miocene faunas in the country. The evolution and stratigraphy of the Cricetodontini is well documented in Spain and France, in the Swiss Bavarian Molasse and in Greece and Turkey (BRUIJN DE et al. 1993, BRUIJN, DE & UN AY 1996, RUMMEL 1999). In the Carpathian Basin we have very few data. On the basis of the comparision of C. hungaricus (KORDOS, 1986) (MN 6) and C klariankae (MN 8) we can describe a number of evolutionary trends. 1. The increase of hypsodonty 7 is clear based on the measurements (Table 7) and the lateral view T s (Plates I— II). In comparision with the data of WEERD (1976: p. 119) the hypsodonty 7 of C klariankae is similar to the
