Description

Paradipus Vinogradov 1930

Paradipus Vinogradov 1930, Izv. Acad. Sci. U. S. S. R.: 333.

Type Species: Scirtopoda ctenodactyla Vinogradov 1929

Species Paradipus ctenodactylus (Vinogradov 1929)

Discussion: Paradipodini. Shenbrot (1992) showed that Paradipus is highly differentiated from other genera in Dipodini (in which it has traditionally been placed) and appears to be most closely related to Cardiocraniinae, based on molar and mastoid characters. Study of the male reproductive tract by Pavlinov and Shenbrot (1983) supported molar and mastoid data, and those authors segregated Paradipus in its own tribe within Dipodinae, which is where Zazhigin and Lopatin (2000 a) placed it in their classification. Shenbrot (1992) and Shenbrot et al. (1995) recognized Paradipodinae within Dipodidae. Paradipus was not included in Stein's (1990) study of limb myology. The tribe is represented by living P. ctenodactylus and extinct P. badhysus from early Pleistocene of Turkmenistan (Shenbrot, 1986; Zazhigin and Lopatin, 2001).
