After López Antoñanzas, 2009, McKenna & Bell, 1997, Benammi, 2001, and Sen, 2001, with some fossil species from “Systema Natura 2000”
NOTE: López Antoñanzas (2009) treats Potwarmus, Valleris, Myocricetodon, Paradakkamys and Dakkamys as murines.
Since almost all of these genera has been included to Myocricetodontini by McKenna & Bell, 1997, Benammi, 2001, and Sen, 2001, I have desided to use López Antoñanzas phylogeny in this presentation.
