Author:Thomas, 1912.
Citation:Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 10: 397.
Comments:Commonly regarded as a subfamily, sometimes even as a separate family; see Barabasch-Nikiforow (1975). Hutchinson (1974) concluded that Desmaninae and Talpidae were separated since the Eocene. Taxonomy of fossil and extant taxa reviewed by Rümke (1985). Distribution and status reviewed by Queiroz et al. (1996).
