Galericinae Pomel 1848 View in CoL

Galericinae Pomel 1848 View in CoL , Arch. Sci. Phys. Nat., 9: 249.

Synonyms: Echinosoricinae Cabrera 1925 ; Gymnurinae Gill 1872 ; Hylomyinae Anderson 1879 .

Genera: 5 genera with 8 species:

Genus Echinosorex Blainville 1838 (1 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Hylomys Müller 1840 (3 species with 7 subspecies)

Genus Neohylomys Shaw and Wong 1959 (1 species)

Genus Neotetracus Trouessart 1909 (1 species)

Genus Podogymnura Mearns 1905 (2 species)

Discussion: Also known as Echinosoricinae or Hylomyinae. Frost et al. (1991:23) rejected the use of Galericinae , a view not shared by Corbet and Hill (1992) and McKenna and Bell (1997), among others. Reviewed (in part) by Frost et al. (1991), Ruedi et al. (1994), and Jenkins and Robinson (2002). Their views are not always congruent. Hoek Ostende (2001) reviewed the fossil record of the Galericini which dates back into the Oligocene of France, and Mein and Ginsburg (1997) documented Miocene records from Thailand.
