SUBFAMILY Galericinae
Author: | Pomel, 1848. | Citation: | Arch. Sci. Phys. Nat., 9: 249. | Comments: | Also known as Echinosoricinae or Hylomyinae. Frost et al. (1991:23) rejected the use of Galericinae, a view not shared by Corbet and Hill (1992) and McKenna and Bell (1997), among others. Reviewed (in part) by Frost et al. (1991), Ruedi et al. (1994), and Jenkins and Robinson (2002). Their views are not always congruent. Hoek Ostende (2001) reviewed the fossil record of the Galericini which dates back into the Oligocene of France, and Mein and Ginsburg (1997) documented Miocene records from Thailand. |
