description: Family Talpidae Fischer von Waldheim, 1817. Mem. Soc. Imp. Nat., Moscow, 5:372. SYNONYMS: Desmanidae. COMMENTS: Subfamily systematics very provisional. Cabrera (1925) proposed a division into five subfamilies, three of which are applied here, following Yates (1984), among others. Scalopinae and Condylurinae are tentatively treated as tribes, following Hutchison (1968). <i>Desmana</i> and <i>Galemys</i> are sometimes placed in a separate family, Desmanidae; see Bobrinskii et al. (1965). Family reviewed by Gureev (1979); see also Gorman and Stone (1990). Relationships of recent moles discussed by Ziegler (1971). Systematics of North American forms reviewed by Yates and Greenbaum (1982); of Palearctic forms by Corbet (1978c); of Siberian forms by Yudin (1989); and of Japanese forms by Abe (1988). Phylogeny of Urotrichini discussed by Storch and Qiu (1983).
