AB - This paper describes three dipodids —Paralactaga suni
Teilhard & Young 1931,Brachyscirtetes wimani (Schlosser 1924) andSminthoides fraudator Schlosser 1924, collected by the Sino-German cooperative project in vertebrate palaeontology from Ertemte and Harr Obo, Inner Mongolia, in 1980. The Ertemte fauna contains the most abundant dipodids known in the Chinese Neogene mammalian faunas. It is shown that the three dipodines are endemic to central Asia and part of northeastern Asia. Comparisons with dipodines from the Pavlodar Formation, Kazakhstan, suggest thatProalactaga
Savinov 1970 andScirtodipus
Savinov 1970 are synonymous withParalactaga
Young 1927 andSminthoides
Schlosser 1924, respectively. The occurrence of dipodids implies that the Ertemte fauna and Harr Obo fauna represent an arid open steppe environment.
