Discussion: Dipodini. Myology, in context of adaptive and phylogenetic significance, studied by Klingener (1964). Generic review and composite distribution map of all species provided by Shenbrot et al. (1995). Evolutionary history extends back to late Miocene of Kazakhstan ( Zazhigin and Lopatin, 2001), late Pliocene of Morocco ( Jaeger, 1970) and Ethiopia ( Wesselman, 1984), and Plio-Pleistocene in Kenya ( Black and Krishtalka, 1986); see review by Denys (1999). For synonyms see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Corbet (1978c).
