A new erinaceine, Sonidolestes wendusui gen. et sp. nov., from the Early Miocene of Inner Mongolia in China,is described here. The tooth morphology of this new taxon is quite unique. Especially, the enlarged p4 hasa regressed paraconid and lacks the metaconid and the paralophid, unlike any known member of theErinaceinae. Sonidolestes wendusui probably feeds on snails or coleopteran insects. The new erinaceinedemonstrates the experimentation of members of the Asian Erinaceinae with different food and ecologicalniches
