Abstract

Pseudocricetodontines from the late Eocene and early Oligocene of south-east Serbia are described. The Pseudocricetodontinae is a clade with a Eurasian geographical range during most of the Oligocene. The subfamily and genera included are briefly discussed. Originally, it contained Pseudocricetodon and Heterocricetodon only, but the number of genera included has grown to at least seven genera during the last decades. Differences in opinion about the content of the subfamily are for a part due to lack of studies in which the Paleogene cricetids from Asia and Europe are directly compared. The material from south-east Serbia described below is assigned to three species: Pseudocricetodon cf. montalbanensis Thaler, 1969, P. heissigi nov. sp. and Heterocricetodon serbicus nov. sp.

We are very grateful to Miloš Milivojević (NHMB) for his dedicated work in the field and laboratory. The SEM pictures of the cheek teeth were made by Tilly Bouten (Utrecht University). The plates were prepared by Margot Stoete (Utrecht University). Marijn Lockefeer is thanked for his expert Latin advice. The field work has been supported financially by the Museum of Natural History in Beograd, by the Hans de Bruijn Foundation and by the Department of Earth Sciences (Utrecht University). This paper benefited from reviews by M. Hugueney and an anonymous reviewer.
