Euchoreutinae Lyon 1901 View in CoL , Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus ., 23 (1228): 666.

Genera: 1 genus with 1 species:

Genus Euchoreutes Sclater 1890 (1 species)

Discussion: Based on crown structure of the molars and characters of the mastoid region, Shenbrot (1992) proposed that Euchoreutinae is most closely related to Sicistinae in Sminthidae . The results of Stein's (1990) study of limb musculature placed Euchoreutinae as a sister group of Zapodinae and Allactaginae in Dipodidae, Zazhigin and Lopatin (2000 a , b) arranged it as a subfamily of Allactagidae , and Potapova (2000) espoused family rank based on bullar morphology. Lyon (1901) had originally proposed Euchoreutinae as a subfamily in Dipodidae . See comment under Dipodidae .
