It was assigned to Rodentia by Gadow (1898); to Duplicidentata by Hay (1902); to Anagalida by McKenna (1975); to Eutheria by Carroll (1988), Nowak (1991); to Glires by Madsen et al. (2001); to Mammalia by Shoshani et al. (1989), Wilson and Reeder (2005); to Duplicidentata by Asher et al. (2005), Wible et al. (2007); and to Glires by Waddell et al. (1999), Waddell et al.
