Discussion:
Scirtopoda
is often incorrectly used for this genus, but is a junior synonym of
Jaculus
(
Corbet, 1978
c
:153
;
Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951:536
).
Shenbrot et al. (1995)
included the extinct
Scirtodipus
(late Miocene of
Kazakhstan
) as a synonym, but
Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001)
and
McKenna and Bell (1997)
listed it as a separate genus in
Dipodinae
.
Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001)
also regard
Scirtodipus
as ancestral to
Stylodipus
, which is represented by Pleistocene samples (
S. telum
) and early Pliocene material from
Mongolia
(
S. iderensis
and
S. perfectus
). Generic review provided by
Shenbrot et al. (1995)
