F. trabanti shows strong affinities with the European monophyletic group Foxemydina owing to the absence of pits in the upper and lower triturating surfaces, the exclusion of the jugal from the triturating surface, the separation of the Eustachian tube and the stapes by a narrow fissure, the presence of deep and narrow fossa pterygoidei, the partially closed foramen jugulare posterius and the pentagonal shape of the basisphenoid in ventral view. Among the Foxemydina the bothremydid from Iharkút is more closely related to F. mechinorum than to Polysternon provinciale from the Early Campanian of France, mainly because of the position of the occipital condyle relative to the mandibular condyles of the quadrate. The new remains represent the only record of the Foxemydina outside ofWestern Europe and provide the earliest known occurrence of this endemic, freshwater group in the former Mediterranean Basin. The historical biogeography of the tribe Bothremydini is investigated and a hypothesis of migration from Africa to North America via the high-latitude Thulean route is put forward. © Cambridge University Press 2011.

Since 2000 three partial skulls, two isolated lower jaws, several hind limbs, two partial plastrons, numerous shell fragments and other postcranial bones have been discovered. The skulls and the lower jaws belong to a presently unnamed new bothremydid taxon while the identification of the isolated postcranial material is in progress. The Iharkút bothremydid is a new taxon and a member of the so-called Bothremys-group. According to a preliminary cladistir analysis this is the sister taxon of Foxemys mechinorum from the Late Cretaceous deposits of southern France. The newly discovered material suggests that members of the Bothremys-group First appeared in the Mediterraneum and the appearance of bothmemydids in North America at the same period can be explained by a sudden migrational event from Europe.
