Mary Ellen Holden, 1993, Order Rodentia - Family Myoxidae, Mammal Species of the World (2 nd Edition), Washington and London: Smithsonian Institution Press, pp. 763-770 : 763

Subfamily Graphiurinae Winge, 1887 . E Museu Lundii, 1:109,123.

COMMENTS: Daams (1981) suggested that the Graphiurinae are most closely related to the Leithiinae, based on tooth morphology. The results of Wahlert et al. (In Press) indicated that the Graphiurinae represent the earliest or most primitive branch of myoxids.
