We describe the following Sieblosiidae: an unnamed ?gen. and sp. A? from the Miocene of Italy, Miostenolestes zherikhini gen. n., sp. n. and Paraoligolestes stavropolensis sp. n., Stenolestes fasciata sp. n. (all from the Miocene of North Caucasus), Stenolestes (?) adygeinensis sp. n. (Oligocene of North Caucasus), and Stenolestes cerestensis sp. n. (Oligocene of France). The two taxa ?gen. and sp. A? and Oligolestes fall the most inclusive positions in the same clade with the Sieblossiiidae. Within the Sieblosiidae sensu stricto, the two clades (Paraoligolestes + (Parastenolestes + Stenolestes) and (Parastenolestes + Stenolestes) are the best supported. The family Sieblosiidae seems to be restricted to the Oligocene-Miocene of Europe.
