Talk:Mojavemyinae

Not a full family
After poking around a bit, I can find no evidence that this grouping has ever been used as a family. Korth and Chaney (1999) named it as a subfamily of uncertain familial assignment (either Heteromyidae or Geomyidae), and the paper has barely been cited since. The one citation I can find,, refers Mojavemys to Geomyidae without even a subfamily assignment. I'm happy to move the page to Mojavemyinae, but I wanted to give a bit of warning first and also raise the possibility of removing the group from the rodent template.

 * I'll concur with the move. What family will it be in then?  Geomyidae?  Incertae sedis? --Aranae (talk) 22:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Geomyidae looks like the best option, maybe "?Geomyidae". McKenna and Bell had both genera (Mojavemys and Phelosaccomys) in Geomyidae, and adding in the Feranec et al article, the recent consensus favors it.  I'll make the move and add an explanation of the issue to the text. Helioseus (talk) 23:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. --Aranae (talk) 23:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
