| Introduction The Neogene insectivores from Greece span an interval from Early Miocene to Biharian but certainly do not represent a continuous succession. The first reference of small mammals in Greece is by Dames (1883), who described Mus [=Parapodemus] gaudryi from the classical locality of Pikermi. The first report of an insectivore is again from Pikermi. Thenius (1952) described a fragmentary mandible with p2-m2 sin., plus an isolated p4 dex. as Galerix exilis. Doukas et al. (1995) referred the specimen to Schizogalerix moedligensis. Credit should be given here to Hans de Bruijn (Utrecht University), who was instrumental in promoting small mammal research in Greece. The search and research for small mammals started in earnest in 1970, when De Bruijn... |

| Introduction In their report of a meeting at Reisensburg, the RCMNS working group on fossil mammals presented ranges of Neogene mammal genera (De Bruijn et al, 1992). However, no erinaceid, talpid or shrew can be found in the tables. The working group concluded (p. 70); "The omission of all the insectivores is regretted, but the participants of the Reisensburg meeting consider this order insufficiently known at this moment." In 1990, this position was justifiable if not justified. Mammal studies up until then had focused on the stratigraphical position of the various faunas. The insectivores, far less numerous than the rodents, usually played a minor role in these studies and were either identified provisionally or not included at all. Detailed... |

| The Working-group on Insectivores from the Neogene of Eurasia (WINE) recently published an overview of the fossil record of insectivores from various European countries. The data thus gathered gives a good impression of the Neogene fossil record of this group. Although most localities are known from Spain, the Central European record has been studied in more detail. The lowermost and late Miocene are as yet relatively poorly documented, particularly in Central Europe. Throughout the Neogene the Central European record is geographically biased, most of our knowledge for a particular timeframe coming from one particular area. Overall the documentation of the fossil record appears to be adequate. Countries for which the fossil record has not been recorded in... |

| The insectivores from the Thrace locality of Karydia (MN 4) are described, as well as an erinaceid molar from thenearby locality of Komotini (MN 5). The Karydia assemblagecontains the same genera of the Greek MN 4 localityAliveri, with the addition of a shrew and of Plesiosorex. An M2 of the latter is the southernmost occurrence of this genus, and the first record from the Mediterranean area. At the species level there are differences between Karydia and Aliveri. As Galerix kostakii n.sp. from Karydia is interpreted as a descendant of G. symeonidisi from Aliveri, a younger age for the Thrace locality, as was already assumed on the basis of the rodents, is confirmed. A model is proposed in which the symeondisi-kostakii lineage gives rise to Parasorex, of... |

| The distribution of the Early Miocene galericine Galerix symeonidisi, with records from Greece, Germany, Spain and Austria is discussed. The identification of G. cf. symeonidisi from the Anatolian Çankiri basin is changed into G. cf. uenayae on the basis of additional material. Galerix symeonidisi enters Europe at the MN 3/ MN 4 transition. Differences in the pattern of replacement of the preceding Galerix species in Germany and Spain suggest that ecological factors played a role in that replacement. Galerix symeonidisi is succeeded by G. exilis in Western and Central Europe. A G. symeonidisi - G. exilis lineage, as has been proposed in literature, is rejected. The record from the Daroca-Calamocha area (Spain) is instead interpreted as a case of gradual... |
