Аннотация: Recently a new association of isolated teeth of small mammals including rodents (cricetids, ctenodactylids, sciurids, zapodids), insectivores and lagomorphs was collected from the middle member of the Chul’adyr Formation but about 5 m above the main fossiliferous horizon that has yielded large mammals (KORDIKOVA & MAVRIN 1996b). Among the small mammal teeth at least 85 isolated teeth belong to insectivores — an echinosoricine «Schizogalerix» iliensis n. sp. (71%), a plesiosoricid Plesiosorex aydarlensis n. sp. (5 %), species referred to Talpidae indet. (2 %) and Soricidae indet. (9 %).The insectivores show affinities with taxa known from the Early to early Late Miocene age localities of Asia Minor and Europe. «Schizogalerix» iliensis n. sp. shares some characters with Sch. pasalarensis ENGESSER 1980 described from the Lower Miocene deposits of Anatolia (Turkey) but it has a more primitive morphology of upper molars. Plesiosorex aydarlensis n. sp. shows similarities with species known from the Orleanian deposits of Western Europe. An Early Miocene age (MN4-5) is tentatively given to the insectivores from the Chul’adyr Formation.
