Discussion:
Also known as Echinosoricinae or Hylomyinae.
Frost et al. (1991:23)
rejected the use of
Galericinae
, a view not shared by
Corbet and Hill (1992)
and
McKenna and Bell (1997)
, among others. Reviewed (in part) by
Frost et al. (1991)
,
Ruedi et al. (1994)
, and
Jenkins and Robinson (2002)
. Their views are not always congruent.
Hoek Ostende (2001)
reviewed the fossil record of the Galericini which dates back into the Oligocene of
France
, and
Mein and Ginsburg (1997)
documented Miocene records from
Thailand
.
