| This article deals with biostratigraphy, palaeoecology and biogeography of the Late Oligocene/Early Miocene insectivore faunas from Anatolia. With the exception of the much younger fauna from Keseköy, all faunas contain the same insectivore species. Keseköy contains the same genera, but mostly different species. It has been suggested that insectivores are of limited stratigraphical use due to the longevity of the taxa. This seems to hold true for the Early Miocene faunas from Anatolia. Changes in the composition of the insectivore faunas are used to infer environmental changes. A rise in the abundance of insectivores near the MP 30/MN 1 transition is believed to be indicative of a climatic amelioration. The dominance of Theratiskos in Harami and Keseköy... |

| Two new genera of Talpidae, Theratiskos gen. nov. and Suleimania gen. nov., and five new species, T. mechteldae sp. nov., T. rutgeri sp. nov., S. ruemkae sp. nov., Geotrypus haramiensis sp. nov. and G. kesekoeyensis sp. nov., are described from the Lower Miocene of Anatolia. The literature on the very diverse genus Geotrypus is reviewed. The aberrant genus Suleimania is placed in a separate subfamily, Suleimaninae subfam. nov. Theratiskos is considered an uropsiline talpid. The taxonomy and classification of the Uropsilinae is discussed. On the basis of the morphology of the humerus the genera Asthenoscaptor and Mygatalpa are included in the Uropsilinae, showing that the diversity of this subfamily during the Early Miocene was much larger than previously... |

| The literature on the Crocidosoricinae is discussed, with emphasis on the genera Crocidosorex Lavocat, 1951 and Oligosorex Kretzoi, 1959. A new species of Oligosorex, O. reumeri, is described from the Lower Miocene locality Keseköy. The other localities in this study contain a closely related species, Oligosorex aff. reumeri. Three other shrews have been found, but the material is insufficient to allow a generic allocation. The shrews designated as Soricid I and Soricid II are considered to represent one evolutionary lineage. Soricid III is a small species, comparable to ‘Crocidosorex sp.’ from the Lower Miocene locality Ulm-Westtangente (Germany). |

| The assemblage of small mammals from Sabuncubeli is of special interest because: 1) it is the first from the Early Miocene of Anatolia that occurs associated with a set of large mammal remains, 2) it is only the second from Anatolia representing MN3, 3) it has a composition that is essentially different from the one from Keseköy, the other MN3 assemblage from Anatolia. Some of the genera and species that are common in Keseköy are either very rare or absent in Sabuncubeli: i.e. the insectivores Galerix uenayae and Theratiskos and the rodents Debruijnia, Vallaris, Sayimys and Enginia. Others, such as Schizogalerix evae, Steneofiber eseri, Palaeosciurus fissurae and Eumyarion orhani occur in Sabuncubeli, but not in Keseköy. The new species Schizogalerix evae... |

| The insectivores of three assemblages from the Kargi K.Y.B. lignite mine are described. These assemblages are considered to be of Early Miocene age, intermediate between those from Inkonak and Kilçak. In Kargi 2 a shrew was found that was not yet known from Lower Miocene deposits in Anatolia. All other insectivores found were encountered in Inkonak and/or Kilçak also. Notable absentees are the talpids Theratiskos and Suleimania, a small shrew and the dimylid Turkodimylus. The two talpids and the shrew are probably Asian immigrants that appeared in Anatolia after the deposition of the Kargi lignite sequence. The absence of Turkodimylus is probably a result of the small sampling sizes. |
