Cylindrodontidae

Osteichthyes - Rodentia - Cylindrodontidae

Taxonomy
Cylindrodontidae was named by Miller and Gidley (1918). It is not extant.

It was reranked as the subfamily Cylindrodontinae by Wilson (1949).

It was assigned to Ischyromyidae by Wilson (1949); to Protrogomorpha by Wood (1958); to Protrogomorpha by Carroll (1988); and to Rodentia by Rose et al. (2012), Lofgren et al. (2020), Korth et al. (2022).
