Abstract

A very rich and weil preserved Late Turolian soricid material (formerly named Amblycoptus topali JÁNOSSY 1972) is described, which have been found in Polgárdi quarry, Locality 5. Detailed anatomical studies of these remains constituted the basis for description of the new genus Kordosia and for drawing some phylogenetical and ecological conclusions. Morphological characters suggest this genus to be closer relatived to Anourosorex than Amblycoptus. On the basis of Mediterranean occurrence of Kordosia ? jessiae (DOUKAS1995), an other member of this genus, a relatively warm elimate is indicated.
