Aplodontiidae Brandt 1855 , Mem. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. Petersbourg, ser. 6, VII; Sci. Nat.: 151.

Synonyms: Aplodontidae Trouessart 1897 ; Haplodontidae Alston 1876 ; Haploodontidae Lilljeborg 1866 ; Haploodontini Brandt 1855 .

Genera: 1 genus with 1 species:

Genus Aplodontia Richardson 1829 (1 species with 7 subspecies)

Discussion: The correct spelling of the family name is Aplodontiidae ( Thomas, 1896) . Traditionally classified as the sole extant representative of a unique suborder or infraorder (Protrogomorpha), the monotypic family Aplodontiidae may constitute the sister group to the sciurids ( Landry, 1999; Montgelard et al., 2002). Consult McKenna and Bell (1997) for additional fossil synonyms.
