چکیده
Pseudomeriones hansi nov. sp. is described from deli locality (SW Sivas, Central Anatolia).

The micromammalian fauna of deli gives evidence for a new species which is characterized by its small size, its M2 with a deep lingual sinus curved backward and its m1 with a symmetric triangular anteroconid that bears a moderate labial arm reaching the base of the protoconid.
