The Albanensia finds from Hungary and Romania

A comprehensive study of the flying squirrel Albanensia finds of the two countries is given. The smallest and earliest representative of the genus is the species Albanensia sansaniensis. It has been recently found in the Badenian (Middle Miocene) fauna of Szentendre. Some sporadic Albanensia sp. and Albanensia albanensis finds were described from Sarmatian localities. Signifi cant Albanensia grimmi materials are known from the late Sarmatian fauna of Felsőtárkány 3/2 and the early Pannonian fauna of Rudabánya. This latter sample has some special characters, which differ from typical A. grimmi finds from Felsőtárkány 3/2, Götzendorf, Richardhof, and Hammerschmiede. With 27 figures and 8 tables.
