Petromuridae Wood 1955 View in CoL

Petromuridae Wood 1955 View in CoL , J. Mammal., 36 (2): 184.

Synonyms: Petromyidae Tullberg 1899 .

Genera: 1 genus with 1 species:

Genus Petromus A. Smith 1831 (1 species with 15 subspecies)

Discussion: Swanepoel et al. (1980:161) employed Petromuridae instead of Petromyidae for this family (see Petromus ). The group had an elaborate Tertiary radiation composed of at least two subfamilies and seven known genera. The placement of this family along with the Thryonomyidae into the superfamily Thryonomuroidea is supported by many studies ( Huchon and Douzery, 2001; Lavocat, 1973; Luckett and Harteberger, 1985 b; Nedbal et al., 1994; Patterson and Wood, 1982; Sarich, 1985). The superfamily Thryonomuroidea was not recognized by McKenna and Bell (1997).
