| Introduction Research on Bulgarian fossil small mammals had a relatively late start and it was researchers from neighbouring countries who published the first few studies. The first fossil shrew, Crocidura sp., was mentioned by Jakubowski & Kraszewski (1972). It was found in the southeastern part of Bulgaria at Sarafovo, a locality of probably Pliocene age. A decade later, Rzebik-Kowalska (1982) and Horáček (1982a, b) described shrews and moles from Late Pleistocene localities. Then, in 1984, one of us (VP) started to study fossil insectivores from his country. The majority of Bulgarian fossil insectivores are Pleistocene (Popov, 1988,1989,1994b, 2000) and are not further considered herein. Pliocene insectivores are known from three localities,... |

| Introduction Despite the 19th century tradition of mammalian palaeontology in the present territory of Poland, the oldest records of insectivores are found in the papers of Andreae (1904), Schlosser (in Zittel, 1911) and Wegner (1913), who described the fauna from the Middle Miocene (MN 6) locality of Opole 1 in Silesia. The insectivores were represented in this locality by Metacordylodon schlosseri (Andreae, 1904) (Dimylidae), Talpa minuta Blainville, 1838 (Talpidae), and Erinaceus sansaniensis Lartet, 1851 (Erinaceidae). According to Wegner (1913) the latter form was similar to the Miocene hedgehog found at Sansan in France. The later revision of the Sansan material showed that it was not uniform. Part of it was transferred to the genus Lantanotherium... |

| Introduction The oldest descriptions of Romanian fossil insectivores date from the 1930s. At that time, I. Simionescu described two Early Pliocene localities, Măluşteni (in 1930) and Bereşti (in 1932), both containing a rich mammal fauna. Among the insectivores, Simionescu identified such genera as Erinaceus, Talpa, Myogale and Sorex. After the Second World War the palaeontologists C. Rădulescu, P.-M. Samson, E. Terzea, M.C. Feru, T. Jurcsák and E. Ştiucãpublished papers on the insectivores. Rădulescu and Samson described and commented upon numerous faunal complexes and species from Romania, spanning the time scale from the Middle Miocene to the end of the Pleistocene (Rădulescu & Samson 1984, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1995a, b, 2001; Rădulescu et al., 1993,... |
