Description
Family Soricidae Fischer von Waldheim, 1817
Eight Soricidae species were determined in the Beremend 14 fossil assemblage (Table 1). Crocidura kornfeldi Kormos, 1934 is ranged to subfamily Crocidurinae, while other six forms: Sorex minutus Linnaeus, 1766; Sorex (Drepanosorex) savini Hinton, 1911; Sorex runtonensis Hinton, 1911; Beremendia fissidens (Petényi, 1864); Petenyia hungarica Kormos, 1934, and Asoriculus gibberodon (Petényi, 1864) belong to subfamily Soricinae. One form could not be exactly determined, because it shows both Crocidurinae and Soricinae characters, so it was defined as Soricidae gen. et sp. indet.
Abbreviations used in the Soricidae descriptions: I = incisor, A = antemolar, P =premolar,M=molar, Mx =upper tooth,M x =lower tooth,L=length, W=width, H = height, BL = buccal length, LL = lingual length, AW = anterior width, PW = posterior width, n = number of specimens, min. = minimum, max. = maximum, sd. = standard deviation, MNI = minimum number of individuals. Calculation of MNI is based on the number of identical, ipsilateral teeth. Morphological terms are used after REUMER (1984). Measurements are given in mm.
Remarks – In the relative groups of the shrews several Erinaceomorpha and Talpidae species with more than 250 specimens occurred in the Beremend 14 sample, but they are not discussed in this paper.
