Distribution of remains of Pliomys episcopalis Mehely in the British Isles. Distribution in the British Isles. Pliomys is known from only one British locality, Westbury-sub-Mendip, where it occurs in association with a lower middle Pleistocene fauna. General distribution. P. episcopalis (type locality Betfia in Romania) appeared in the late Villafranchian of Europe and became widespread in the lower middle Pleistocene. In Italy it probably survived until the Holsteinian. Its remains are distributed from the European part of the Soviet Union to France and Italy. This species is generally recognized as an element of the steppe fauna. Genus MIMOMYS Major 1902 Mimomys pliocaenicus Major 1902 Vole, extinct 1874 Arvicola amphibius (Linn.) ; Blackmore & Alston : 462-464 [partim). 1882a Arvicola {Evotomys) intermedins Newton : 83, pi. 13 [partim). 1902 Mimomys pliocaenicus Major : 102-107, figs 13-15. Distribution in the British Isles. Although one rolled microtine tooth from the Red Crag has provisionally been referred to Mimomys by Spencer (1964) no remains identifiable at specific level are known from Britain earlier than the Norwich Crag. M. pliocaenicus has been found in the Norwich Crag and Weybourne Crag.
