Abstract

In this paper, we describe newly discovered and previously collected fossil moschid specimens from the middle Miocene of China. Besides the previously reported Hispanomeryx andrewsi, we recognize four additional fossil species in two genera of Moschidae in the middle Miocene of China based on dental morphology: Micromeryx cf. flourensianus, Micromeryx sp., Hispanomeryx sp. 1, and Hispanomeryx sp. 2. The specimens are of Tunggurian age (Neogene Chinese Land Mammal Age), corresponding to European MN6-MN7/8. The records show a diversity of fossil moschids in the middle Miocene of China comparable with the contemporaneous diversity in western European faunas.
