Abstract: A new glirid genus and species, Gliruloides zhoui, is named based on specimens from the Late Oligocene Tieersihabahe Mammal Assemblage Zone I (Tie-I zone) of the northern Junggar Basin, Xinjiang. The new genus is diagnosed by the following features: middle-sized dormouse; occlusal surface of cheek teeth concave; upper and lower cheek teeth dominantly with nine transverse ridges; the anterotrope(id) and posterotrope(id) well developed and extending almost full length of corresponding valleys; transverse ridges of upper cheek teeth usually free-ended labially;M1/2 with V- or narrow U-shaped trigon; the precentroloph not connected to the endoloph that is incomplete or nearly complete; the endolophid in lower cheek teeth discontinuous or continuous; labial end of the anterolophid curving slightly distally but not connected with the protoconid; root number of p4, m1-3, P4 and M1-3 being 2, 2, 3 and 3 respectively. We discuss the differences of Gliruloidesfrom Glirulus and Vasseuromys and assign the Anatolian Vasseuromysduplex and Vasseuromys aff. V. duplex from the Early Miocene of Turkey to Gliruloides. It is posited that Gliruloides and Glirulus may share a common ancestor similar to Glis guerbuezi from the Lower Oligocene of Thrace, Turkey. Gliruloides might live in a relative wet and warm biotope.
