Dasyproctidae Bonaparte 1838 View in CoL , Syn. Vert. Syst., in: Nuovi Ann. Sci. Nat., Bologna, Vol. 2: 112.

Genera: 2 genera with 13 species:

Genus Dasyprocta Illiger 1811 (11 species with 29 subspecies)

Genus Myoprocta Thomas 1903 (2 species)

Discussion: The Cuniculidae ( Agoutidae ) has been included in Dasyproctidae by several authors, but see comments under Cuniculidae . McKenna and Bell (1997) included the dasyproctids as a subfamily (Dasyproctinae) within the Agoutidae . Molecular data ( Rowe and Honeycutt, 2002) strongly support designation of two separate families: the Dasyproctidae and the Cunniculidae ( Agoutidae ). Placed in the superfamily Cavioidea by Woods (1982) and McKenna and Bell (1997).
