Author: | Vinogradov, 1925. | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Zoc. Lond., 1925(1): 578. | Comments: | Following Pavlinov (1980b) two tribes, Cardiocraniini and Salpingotini, are recognized. Pavlinov and Shenbrot (1983) recognized Cardiocraniinae and Salpingotinae in a Dipodidae, which was modified by Shenbrot (1992), who recognized only Cardiocraniinae within Dipodidae, an arrangement also employed by Zazhigin and Lopatin (2000a). Shenbrot et al. (1995) include the extinct Lophocricetinae, but other researchers recognize it as a subfamily in Zapodidae (R. A. Martin, 1994; Qiu, 1985), or tribe in Zapodinae (McKenna and Bell, 1997), or a subfamily in Dipodidae (where Zapodidae, Allactagidae, and Dipodidae are recognized; Zazhigin and Lopatin, 2000a). Characters of subfamily and geographic distribution reviewed by Shenbrot et al. (1995). |
