Author: | Fischer, 1817. | Citation: | Mem. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscow, 5: 372. | Comments: | Stylodipodiina was proposed for Stylodipus by Zazhigin and Lopatin (2000a) but no type genus was explicitly indicated. Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001) recorded four dipodine genera as occurring in Asia by late Miocene, the extinct Scirtodipus and Plioscirtopoda, and extant Dipus and Jaculus. Those authors also noted that by late Miocene-early Pliocene times, three phylogenetic lineages were already apparent. One consists only of Dipus; another contains Scirtodipus (late Miocene), Stylodipus, and Plioscirtopoda (late Miocene to early Pleistocene; see also Kowalski, 2001); and the third is represented by Jaculus, Eremodipus, and the extinct Jaculodipus (early Pliocene). Both extinct and living forms are basically Eurasian in distribution, and only two species of Jaculus extend beyond that region to North Africa (see accounts of J. jaculus and J. orientalis). |
