GENUS Stylodipus
| Author: | G. M. Allen, 1925. | | Citation: | Am. Mus. Novit., 161: 4. | | Type Species: | Stylodipus andrewsi Allen, 1925. | | Comments: | Scirtopoda is often incorrectly used for this genus, but is a junior synonym of Jaculus (Corbet, 1978c:153; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951:536). Shenbrot et al. (1995) included the extinct Scirtodipus (late Miocene of Kazakhstan) as a synonym, but Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001) and McKenna and Bell (1997) listed it as a separate genus in Dipodinae. Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001) also regard Scirtodipus as ancestral to Stylodipus, which is represented by Pleistocene samples (S. telum) and early Pliocene material from Mongolia (S. iderensis and S. perfectus). Generic review provided by Shenbrot et al. (1995). |
