Abstract
The shrews from the karstic fissure fill sites Petersbuch 6, 10, 18, 31, 35, 48 include seven species,Paenesorex biscuspis n. gen. n. sp. being new. It is a primitive Soricini, characterised by an incipient soricine morphology along with reduction of the m3 that excludes it from theSorex ancestry. The entire soricid fauna is composed of some advanced elements, the Blarinellini, and species we expect in the Middle Miocene. The biostratigraphic correlation with the units MN 7+8, established by rodents, is corroborated by the soricids.
