TYPE SPECIES: Myoxus javanicus Schinz, 1845 (= lapsus for japonicus ; see Thomas (1905«) for an explanation of the emendation of javanicus to japonicus . SYNONYMS: Amphidyromys, Paraglirulus (see van der Meulen and de Bruijn, 1982 ). COMMENTS: De Bruijn (1967) placed Glirulus and related fossil genera in their own subfamily based on dental characters. Daams (1981) included these genera in the Dryomyinae (= Leithiinae), as did van der Meulen and de Bruijn (1982) . However, the phylogenetic study by Wahlert et al. (In Press) supported the inclusion of Glirulus within the Myoxinae (see also comment under Myoxinae ). Glirulus appears to be the sister group of Myoxus and Muscardinus (Wahlert et al., In Press).
