Pseudictopidae is an extinct family of mammals closely related to rodents and lagomorphs. Members of the family are known from PaleocenetoEocene deposits in China and Mongolia.[1]
The family Pseudictopidae was erected in 1969 by Andrez Sulimsky as a monotypic family, with Pseudictops as the type and only genus, though later authors would assign more genera to the family. Sulimsky tentatively assigned Pseudictopidae to Eutheria incertae sedis, believing that it and Anagalidae were representatives of an unknown order.[2] In 1971, Szalay and McKenna erected the order Anagalida, to which Pseudictopidae was assigned.[3]
