Genus Dryomimus Kretzoi, 1959

Remarks – One Dryomimus species, D. eliomyoides Kretzoi, 1959 , was identified from the locality. The name alludes to the transitional morphology of teeth of the aforementioned taxon between recent Dryomys and Eliomys species, although ridges appear on the occlusal surface too, similarly to Glis ( DAAMS & DE BRUIJN 1995) .
