Description:
The micromammal fauna from the Middle Miocene (Middle Aragonian) of La Retama, eastern central Spain, is described. It is a relatively poor rodent fauna composed by ten species only, associated to a highly diverse bat fauna, which includes five genera. The insectivores are represented by two species. This fossil assemblage has been correlated to zone Db (MN 5). The palaeoenvironmental reconstruction based on micromammals indicates open and dry conditions for this locality.\n\nSe describen los micromam\xc3\xadferos del Mioceno medio (Aragoniense medio) de La Retama, sector centro-oriental espa\xc3\xb1ol. La fauna de roedores es relativamente pobre y est\xc3\xa1 compuesta \xc3\xbanicamente por diez especies. Sin embargo, cabe destacar la elevada diversidad de los quir\xc3\xb3pteros, representados por cinco g\xc3\xa9neros. Se describe tambi\xc3\xa9n dos taxa de insect\xc3\xadvoros. Esta asociaci\xc3\xb3n f\xc3\xb3sil ha sido correlacionada con la zona Db (MN5). La reconstrucci\xc3\xb3n paleoambiental de La Retama inferida a partir de la fauna de micromam\xc3\xadferos corresponde a un ambiente abierto y seco.
