记述了甘肃临夏盆地晚中新世伊哈池地点的仓鼠类啮齿动物，并讨论了其在中亚生态环境变化中的重要意义。该地点主要产出小哺乳动物遗骸，此前已对化石组合及相关问题做了初步报道，对其中的松鼠类进行了详细的描述和讨论(Qiu et al., 2023; Qiu and Li, 2023)。伊哈池的仓鼠共4属：有常见的微仓鼠(Nannocricetus)和中华仓鼠(Sinocricetus), 动物群中不多见且为现生的中仓鼠(Mesocricetus), 以及只有几件标本为代表的高冠、脊型齿的犀齿鼠(Rhinocerodon)。仓鼠类和其他成员指示了伊哈池动物群晚中新世早期的地质时代，揭示了其种群出现的格局与东亚季风影响加强导致的古环境变化的一致性。伊哈池动物群代表了中国北方地区在晚中新世期间，由于季节性雨水增强和年平均气温下降，随着较古老的属种的消失而出现的一个渐具强烈地方色彩的动物组合。

Our purpose in this paper is to describe the hamster-like rodents (Cricetidae) from a Late Miocene age site in Linxia Basin, Gansu Province, and discuss their significance for the changing ecology of central Asia. The micromammal site known as Yihachi was introduced previously (Qiu et al., 2023; Qiu and Li, 2023), when its squirrels were discussed in some detail. We take this opportunity to describe the more abundant cricetids. There are four genera, common Nannocricetus and Sinocricetus plus the less abundant living Mesocricetus. A few specimens represent the high-crowned and lophodont Rhinocerodon. The cricetids and other faunal elements indicate an early Late Miocene age, and the pattern of occurrence of the hamster species is consistent with a picture of a changing paleoenvironment due to increasing effects of the East Asia monsoon system. After the disappearance of older and archaic genera, Yihachi represents growing endemism in the Late Miocene of northern China due to increasing seasonal rain and the declining average temperature.
