Hystricidae G. Fischer 1817 View in CoL , Mem. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscow, 5: 372.

Genera: 3 genera with 11 species:

Genus Atherurus F. Cuvier 1829 (2 species)

Genus Hystrix Linnaeus 1758 (8 species with 7 subspecies)

Genus Trichys Günther 1876 (1 species)

Discussion: Reviewed by Mohr (1965) and by Van Weers (1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1983). Usually divided into two subfamilies (Atherurinae, Hystricinae) see McKenna and Bell (1997), but Van Weers (1977, 1978, 1979) does not agree. This family appears to be the most divergent of the suborder ( Huchon and Douzery, 2001).
