FAMILY Aplodontiidae

Author:Brandt, 1855.
Citation:Mem. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. Petersbourg, ser. 6, VII; Sci. Nat.: 151.
Comments:The correct spelling of the family name is Aplodontiidae (Thomas, 1896). Traditionally classified as the sole extant representative of a unique suborder or infraorder (Protrogomorpha), the monotypic family Aplodontiidae may constitute the sister group to the sciurids (Landry, 1999; Montgelard et al., 2002). Consult McKenna and Bell (1997) for additional fossil synonyms.
