CRICETODONTINI FROM THE EARLY MIOCENE OF ANATOLIA

Cricetodon and Deperetomys from the early Miocene localities Söke, Dededağ (Aydın), Kınık, Harta (Manisa) Western Anatolia and Yapıntı (İçel) Southern Anatolia are studied. Seven species, four of which are new, are described: Cricetodon trallesensis n. sp., Cricetodon fikreti n. sp., Cricetodon magnesiensis n. sp., Cricetodon yapintiensis n. sp., Cricetodon versteegi, Cricetodon kasapligili and Cricetodon cf. kasap- ligili, Deperetomys cf. intermedius. In order to establish phylogenetic relations of the Cricetodon species, a cladistic analysis are performed.
