The Genus Eomyops Engesser, 1979 (Rodentia, Eomyidae) from the youngest deposits of the German part of the North Alpine Foreland Basin.

The study of extinct Eomyid rodents represents an important segment of Burkart Engesser's scientific work. To pay tribute to Burkhard's work, this paper presents remains of Eomyops Engesser, 1979 from the German Jüngere Serie localities Kleineisenbach, Giggenhausen, Marktl, Hammerschmiede and Hillenloh. Two Eomyops species are recorded, i.e. E. oppligeri Engesser, 1990 and E. catalaunicus (Hartenberger, 1966). A third form, only found at the locality Marktl, is retained in open nomenclature. In spite of the richness of the studied material, the time gap separating the individual localities does not allow to assess precisely the relationships between the species recorded.
