Taxonomy
Chinchilloidea was named by Bennett (1833) [apparently first used at this rank by Kraglievich 1940]. It is extant.
It was assigned to Caviomorpha by Wood (1958) and Wood and Patterson (1959); to Hystricognathi by Vucetich (1989); to Hystricognathi by Vucetich et al. (2010); to Caviomorpha by Huchon and Douzery (2001) and Bertrand et al. (2012); and to Caviomorpha by Carroll (1988), Nowak (1999) and Vucetich et al. (2015).
