Giraffid remains from several Neogene localities from the Temel Basin (Spain) are studied. The material belongs to the following sites: Masía de la Roma and Masía del Barbo (Vallesian); Masada del Valle 2 (Turolian); La Gloria 4 and La Calera (Alfambrian). Fossils recently obtained are described, with special emphasis on the Pliocene taxa that were previously unrecorded in this basin. The presence of Decennatherium pachecoi in the Vallesian and Birgerbohlinia schaubi in the Turolian is specified here. In order to make a distinction between both species two characteristics can be pointed out among the rest: the postcranial skeleton of Decennatherium is more slender than the one of Birgerbohlinia while the latter has a wider upper cheek-teeth than the former. The Pliocene material (only postcranial remains) is assigned to Sivatheriinae indet d. Birgerbohlinia. No upper Turolian (NM 13) giraffids have been found yet although many rich localities have already been reviewed in Temel area.
