摘要
记述了云南禄丰晚中新世石灰坝古猿地点发现的松鼠科化石。禄丰石灰坝动物群的松鼠动物共有 7属 7种 :地松鼠Sciurotamiaswangisp .nov .,树松鼠Tamiopssp .、Callosciurussp .、Dremomysprimitivussp .nov .和飞松鼠Miopetauristaasiaticasp .nov .、Hylopetodondianensegen .etsp.nov.、Pteromyinaegen.etsp .indet.。该动物群松鼠类动物的组成以树松鼠和飞松鼠为主 ,反映了较为湿润的热带—亚热带森林环境。在动物地理上 ,其成员几乎局限于东南亚分布 。
The Sciuridae from Shihuiba, a late Miocene hominoid locality at Lufeng, Yunnan Province are described. The fauna contains seven species of Sciuridae, including one new genus and four new species. One of the sciuricds is a ground squirrel: Sciurotamias wangi sp. nov.; three are tree squirrels:Tamiops sp., Callosciurus sp. and remomys primitivus sp. nov.; and three are flying squirrels:Miopetaurista asiatica sp. nov., Hylopetoaon dianense gen. et sp. nov. and Pteromyinae gen. et sp.indet. The sciurid fauna is characterized by its dominance of tree and flying squirrels, and reflects a rather humid and forsted environment. Biogeographically, the fauna is ndemic to southeastern Asia, and is obviously Oriental in character.
