Abstract

Insectivores of Middle Miocene (Hemingfordian, Marsland) from Nebraska are described. The presence of Mesoscalops and Mystipterus (Mydecodon) in the Cottonwood Creek Local Fauna extends the geographic range of these genera. Miocene erinaceid post-cranial elements are described for the first time.
