While the Sámsonháza Galerix form is somewhat smaller than the specimens reported by BAUDELOT (1972) from Sansan, on the basis of the morphology, we can identify it as the same species. The French locality is stratigraphically ranged in the Middle Miocene Astaracian unit, MN 6 Zone. From Hungary we also have insectivore locality from this period. On the basis of cricetid studies KORDOS (1981 and 1986) ranged Hasznos site in this Zone. The insectivores of the locality were elaborated by MÉSZÁROS and he found the present species in the material (MÉSZÁROS in prep.)

: L = 2.86 mm, W = 2.01 mm. The tooth is elongated. The talon is emarginated. The metacone is the largest cusp, the hypocone is somewhat smaller, the para- and the protocone are lower of them. A deep channel distinctly separates the proto- and hypocone from the para- and metacone, but the posterior arm of the protocone is connected to the anterior arm of the hypocone. The posterior arm of the paracone runs to the metacone. There is a quite wide basin on the lingal margin, between the protocone and the hypocone. A tiny parastyle is present in front of the paracone. The size of the Sámsonháza Plesiodimylus is at the lower brink of the variation of the Sansan P. chantrei measurements. The stratigraphical range of the species is very extended: it is reported from the Lower to the Upper Miocene (Vermes, Dorn Dürkheim, Can Llobateres, Anwil, La Grive, Rudabánya, etc.) =» Figure 3 — 1: Galerix exilis, right mandible fragment with p4-mi and the trigonid of rra, lingual view (la), occlusal view (lb); 2: Galerix exilis, left M
