Notes

edit
  • Junior synonym of Paraspeleognathopsis according to Domrow (1975: 97). Synonymy not considered by Fain (1985: 145) in his description of Paraspeleognathopsini.
  • The genus Spelaeomys erected by Hooijer (1957) for a giant prehistoric rat is misspelled Speleomys by Geer et al. (2010: plate 21) (false homonymy).
