Cardiocraniinae Vinogradov 1925

Cardiocraniinae Vinogradov 1925 , Proc. Zool. Zoc. Lond., 1925 (1): 578.

Synonyms: Cardiocraniini Pavlinov 1980 ; Salpingotinae Vinogradov 1925 ; Salpingotini Pavlinov 1980 .

Genera: 3 genera with 7 species:

Genus Cardiocranius Satunin 1903 (1 species)

Genus Salpingotulus Pavlinov 1980 (1 species)

Genus Salpingotus Vinogradov 1922 (5 species)

Discussion: Following Pavlinov (1980 b) 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 (2000 a). 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, 2000 a). Characters of subfamily and geographic distribution reviewed by Shenbrot et al. (1995).
