This paper describes the muroid Myocricetodontinae from eight H-GSP localities of the Lower Manchar Formation in Sind (Pakistan). Of the eleven species belonging to five genera, one genus, Sindemys, and one species, Sindemys sehwanensis, are new.The subfamily Myocricetodontinae, which is considered a sister-group of the Gerbillinae and Taterillinae, includes eight genera: the extinct Myocricetodon, Mellalomys, Dakkamys, Shamalina, Punjabemys and Sindemys n. gen. and the extant Mystromys and Calomyscus. It is shown that the Myocricetodontinae have a large geographic distribution, from Pakistan to S. Africa, and occur since the Early Miocene.
