Phylogenetic relationships of hedgehogs and gymnures (Mammalia, Insectivora, Erinaceidae) / / Darrel R. Frost, W. Chris Wozencraft, and Robert S. Hoffmann.   Author:  Frost, Darrel R. Title:  Phylogenetic relationships of hedgehogs and gymnures (Mammalia, Insectivora, Erinaceidae) / / Darrel R. Frost, W. Chris Wozencraft, and Robert S. Hoffmann. Publisher:  Washington, D.C. : Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991. Description:  iii, 69 p. : ill. ; 28 cm. Electronic Version:  Online Publication  http://dx.doi.org/10.5479/si.00810282.518 Series:  Smithsonian contributions to zoology ; -- no. 518 Abstract:  Using 81 transformation series containing 172 characters of osteology, dentition, and external morphology, the phylogeny of Recent erinaceids is investigated using standard phylogenetic techniques. For this analysis, we used as the first taxonomic outgroup of Erinaceidae, Soricoidea + Tenrecoidea; and as the second taxonomic outgroup, †Leptictidae. Supraspecific monophyletic groups identified from this analysis are Erinaceidae; Hylomyinae; Podogymnura (aureospinula, truei); Echinosorex + Podogymnura; Hylomys (sinensis, suillus, hainanensis); Erinaceinae; Hemiechinus; subgenus Paraechinus ((aethiopicus, micropus), hypomelas) + H. auritus + H. collaris; Mesechinus dauuricus + (Erinaceus + Atelerix); Erinaceus (europaeus, concolor, amurensis); and Atelerix ((albiventris, sclateri), algirus, frontalis). Evidence does not support the monophyly of Hemiechinus (as recognized by Honacki et al., 1982) or of Hemiechinus excluding H. dauuricus. Mesechinus is elevated from subgeneric status (under Hemiechinus) to generic status to contain dauuricus and hughi. Paraechinus is considered a subgenus of Hemiechinus. Neohylomys and Neotetracus are considered synonyms of Hylomys. Diagnoses and taxonomic accounts of genera are presented along with comments on the taxonomy of and variation within species. Hemiechinus aethiopicus, H. deserti, and H. dorsalis are provisionally regarded as subspecies of H. aethiopicus.
