 Comments
       
  Comment: Petromyidae Tullberg 1899 was based on an unavailable name (Petromys Smith 1834, an unjustified emendation of Petromus Smith 1831). Under ICZN (2000) Article 35.4.1, its spelling is to be corrected to correspond with the correctly-spelled genus, with no change to authorship. Since this is the oldest available family-group name, the corrected name is Petromuridae Tullberg 1899, as in McKenna & Bell 1997:194, contra authorship "Wood, 1955" applied by Woods & Kilpatrick (2005)
