Glirinae (Gliridae, Rodentia) from the type area of the Aragonian and adjacent areas (province of Teruel and Zaragoza, Spain) / Remmert Daams.

• This paper, the first in a series of monographs on the mammal faunas from the type area of the Aragonian and adjacent areas in the provinces of Teruel and Zaragoza, deals with the description and palaeoenvironmental interpretation of the Glirinae (Gliridae: dormice). 
• This is one of the papers in a series of monographs on the insular mammal faunas of the Gargano Peninsula in South Italy. It deals with the description of a new genus and species of a giant dormouse, Stertomys laticrestatus. 
• Hattomys, a new genus of Cricetidae, is described and three new species H. beetsi, H. nazarii and H. gargantua are attributed to it. Hattomys are very large cricetids, and the evolution of the genus is characterized by a considerable increase in size, and an increasing predominance of ridges over cusps. The supposedly oldest Gargano localities yielded, apart from the lineage H. beetsi-nazarii-gargantua, some scarce material of three other hamster species: a Megacricetodon, a Cricetulodon and a Cricetus. Comparison with the Spanish sequences of rodent faunas shows that the Gargano faunas probably are of late Turolian age, equivalent of the Messinian.
