The locality Shihuiba at Lufeng, Yunnan produced abundant fossils of small mammals as well as rich remains of hominoids. Preliminary reports on the micromammalian fauna and the producing levels have been presented (Qiu et al., 1985; Qi,1985), and detailed descriptions of selected taxa have been given in succession (Flynn & Qi, 1982; Qi, 1986; Qiu, 1986; Qiu, 1989; Qiu & Storch, 1990; Storch & Qiu, 1991). The present paper deals with the material of the rodent family Cricetidae collected in 1983 from layers Ⅰ-Ⅵ of section D at the site. Cricetids are common rodents in this fauna, but represent only one genus and one species.
