详细描述了陕西蓝田晚中新世灞河组发现的两种鼠科化石:中华原裔鼠Progonomyssinensis sp.nov.和Muridae gen.et sp.indet..新种的特征是:个体通常比Progonomys cathalaiSchaub,1938大;下臼齿的唇侧齿带和附属尖很弱;三分之二的m1具有一很小的中间前边尖(tma);M1的t1和t3偶见后刺,在个别的m1中有一短的中间脊;臼齿的尺寸落入P.woelferi的变异范围,但t6~t9间的连接没有该种那样常见,而t12较为明显.新种产于灞河组下部层位,其牙齿的大小和形态特征介于Progonomys cathalai Schaub,1938与P.woelferi Bachmayer et Wlson,1970之间.据此可证实,把灞河组下部层位的时代置于晚中新世早期,相当欧洲瓦里士期晚期或MN10的时代比较恰当.新种的重要意义不仅在于它具有狭义Progonomys属的特征,而且是我国现知鼠科动物最古老的一种.未定种产于灞河组较上部层位,牙齿形态与Progonomys sinensis的相似,很可能与其有较接近的亲缘关系.
詳細描述瞭陝西藍田晚中新世灞河組髮現的兩種鼠科化石:中華原裔鼠Progonomyssinensis sp.nov.和Muridae gen.et sp.indet..新種的特徵是:箇體通常比Progonomys cathalaiSchaub,1938大;下臼齒的脣側齒帶和附屬尖很弱;三分之二的m1具有一很小的中間前邊尖(tma);M1的t1和t3偶見後刺,在箇彆的m1中有一短的中間脊;臼齒的呎吋落入P.woelferi的變異範圍,但t6~t9間的連接沒有該種那樣常見,而t12較為明顯.新種產于灞河組下部層位,其牙齒的大小和形態特徵介于Progonomys cathalai Schaub,1938與P.woelferi Bachmayer et Wlson,1970之間.據此可證實,把灞河組下部層位的時代置于晚中新世早期,相噹歐洲瓦裏士期晚期或MN10的時代比較恰噹.新種的重要意義不僅在于它具有狹義Progonomys屬的特徵,而且是我國現知鼠科動物最古老的一種.未定種產于灞河組較上部層位,牙齒形態與Progonomys sinensis的相似,很可能與其有較接近的親緣關繫.

Two forms of Muridae,Progonomys sinensis sp.nov.and Muridae gen.et sp.indet.from the late Miocene Bahe Formation at Lantian,Shaanxi Province are described.The new species,occurring in lower horizons of the formation,demonstrates intermediate characters between P.cathalai and P.woelferi in dimension and morphology.The new murid argues for an age of early late Miocene for the lower portions of the Bahe Formation,corresponding to early Baodean of Chinese Land Mammal Age,which can be correlated with late Vallesian or MN10 of Europe.Consequently,the new species is important because it represents diversity in the species of the genus Progonomys and the oldest murid known in China.The indeteminate species was probably closely allied to the new species.
