COMMENTS:
Shenbrot (1992)
showed that
Paradipus
is highly differentiated from
Dipodinae
(in which it has traditionally been placed), and that
Paradipodinae
appears to be most closely related to
Cardiocraniinae
, based on molar and mastoid characters.
Paradipus
was not included in
Stein's (1990)
study of limb myology.
