Abstract:

The paper recapitulates data on the fossil insectivore mammals of Ukraine. They include families: Erinaceidae, Talpidae, Dimylidae, Heterosoricidae and Soricidae. In Ukraine the oldest insectivore remains come from the locality of Gritsev and are dated to the early Late Miocene (MN9). The insectivore taxa cited from this country are presented in twelve Tables of three types. One of them lists taxa published with descriptions, measurements, localities and geological ages, the second mentions taxa without descriptions or measurements and the third without descriptions, measurements or exact localities. Short remarks on questionable forms are given.
