Discussion: Scirtopoda is often incorrectly used for this genus, but is a junior synonym of Jaculus ( Corbet, 1978 c:153; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951:536). Shenbrot et al. (1995) included the extinct Scirtodipus (late Miocene of Kazakhstan) as a synonym, but Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001) and McKenna and Bell (1997) listed it as a separate genus in Dipodinae . Zazhigin and Lopatin (2001) also regard Scirtodipus as ancestral to Stylodipus , which is represented by Pleistocene samples ( S. telum ) and early Pliocene material from Mongolia ( S. iderensis and S. perfectus ).
