摘要

Very scarce remains of Erinaceidae and Talpidae have been found in three different layers of Miocene sediments in Belchatow in central Poland. Talpidae gen. et sp. in-det. and Desmanella cf. engesseri were stated in horizon C, dated from the Middle (MN4 or MN4/MN5) Miocene, Lanthanotherium aff. sansaniense, Mygalea cf. antiqua, Talpa minuta, "Scaptonyx" cf. edwardsi and Desmanella engesseri in horizon B, dated from the Middle (MN5 or MN5/MN6) Miocene and ITalpa minuta, Desmanella cf. stehlini and Talpidae gen. et sp. indet. in horizon A, dated from the late Middle (MN7+8) or Middle/Late (MN7+8/MN9) Miocene boundary. The remains are described and illustrated and their systematic position is discussed.
