Abstract
In this paper the distribution of Miocene and Pliocene Gerbillidae in Europe is described. It appears that only a few species of this family were present for only a short period of time (Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene). The European Gerbillidae are related to forms from North Africa and Asia Minor and are thought to have immigrated in, at least, two waves during the Upper Miocene and Lower Pliocene into Europe.
